Repeat prescriptions regularly left unsigned and delayed
Disappointing experience, as I don't tend to ask for much. I'm not a demanding patient - I have a repeat prescription that I've been receiving monthly for a couple of years now. I should be able to contact the surgery a few days before my supply runs out and request my next prescription to be authorised and forwarded to the nearby pharmacy, but in the two-year period this has only worked successfully on two or three occasions. Even ordering a week in advance, the prescription frequently remains unsigned at the surgery or sits uncollected in reception. I've had to visit the surgery multiple times to collect it myself and deliver it to the pharmacy in person. On some occasions, I've even needed to wait for an appointment to conclude so the prescription could be signed. This isn't always feasible given the restricted opening hours available. The pharmacy has been understanding and has attempted to help by enrolling me in their automated system to eliminate the need for me to request prescriptions manually, yet this approach hasn't resolved the issue either. After two years of struggling with this straightforward administrative task, I'm concerned about what might happen if I ever require assistance with something more complicated.
