Prescription Delays Posted or Updated on 14 Nov 2024

This week we have experienced a higher number of prescription requests than usual. We are working through the backlog and should return to a 72 hour turnaround time by early next week.

If you run out of your regular medication please remember that a pharmacy will often provide emergency medication, and you can also request emergency repeat medication online via NHS111:

Thanks for your patience, we know it can be frustrating and we're grateful how realistic our patients are in understanding the delay. We would ask that your remain polite to our staff despite the inconvenience.
