Prescription delays caused repeated medication shortages

The nursing staff are wonderful, kind, caring and compassionate – I have no complaints about them whatsoever. However, I have experienced ongoing difficulties with my prescription management. My medications have been repeatedly rejected, causing me to run out and requiring me to make multiple calls on the day they were due to request emergency prescriptions that hadn't been processed in time. Following emergency surgery, I was discharged with pain relief sufficient for only two days and instructed to contact the practice if I required further medication. When I did reach out to the surgery, my request for additional pain relief was declined. This was particularly concerning given the nature of my procedure and recovery. Even a healthcare professional involved in my care contacted the practice on my behalf to advocate for pain relief support. Ultimately, I felt compelled to travel to hospital with my newborn while experiencing significant pain in order to obtain the medication I needed. I found this frustrating as the prescription could have been sent electronically to a pharmacy for collection by someone on my behalf, which would have been a more straightforward solution. I struggled to understand why the practice was unwilling to facilitate this simpler approach to managing my post-operative care.
