Repeat prescription process needs urgent improvement

Called to request a repeat prescription. Was advised to use the NHS app or visit the surgery to complete a form. Was informed the process takes 48 hours. Based on previous experience, the full process including pharmacy processing typically takes longer, and with it being Tuesday, the medication would likely not be ready until the following Monday. My husband recently had a respiratory infection and developed a cough two days ago. The current inhaler supply will not be sufficient until then. I felt the reception staff lacked understanding of the urgency of the situation. It seems unnecessary to require a full doctor's appointment simply to obtain an inhaler refill. The current system appears inadequate, and there should be contingency arrangements in place for urgent medication needs.
