7th October 2021

If you request a prescription urgently we now to expect it to be collected from the surgery by the patient (or their representative) and we will not send it to a pharmacy. If you want it sent to a pharmacy please specify this carefully. This is because the variation in the times and frequencies that the pharmacies collect from us and also the time some pharmacies are taking to process prescriptions is causing us work locating and duplicating requests.

The practice is closed on Monday 4th October 2021. If you require urgent medical care please call NHS 24 on 111. In a life threatening situation please always call 999.

Prescription requests received on Monday will not be processed until Tuesday please allow 48hours from then.

Our usual turnaround for prescriptions requests is 48hours from receipt until ready for collection (this is only during 8am - 6pm Monday - Friday and does not account for any time the pharmacy may take to fulfil the prescription from them collecting it - not all pharmacies collect from us every day)

Clinical System Failure 07/09/21

update 08/09/21 - our system is back up and running - however we now have a backlog (especially of prescriptions) so we ask that our patients please be considerate.

There is a national issue with our clinical system. We have no access to an appointment system and limited access to patient records. Please only phone the surgery if you feel you need urgent medical care. We will not be able to process many repeat prescriptions. If you have a pre-booked appointment you can still attend.
