Urgent Medication Requests

Important Notice: Prescription Requests

We are working to reduce the number of same-day prescription requests.

Processing prescriptions urgently creates significant additional work for the duty doctor and, in most cases, these are not a clinical priority.

Please remember:

• It is your responsibility to order medications in good time.
• Unless your medication is on the urgent prescriptions list, it will be processed within 48 hours and sent to your nominated pharmacy.
• This policy has been agreed by the GP partners: if the medication is not critical, it will be processed in the usual timeframe.

If you believe you have an urgent concern, please speak to a receptionist who will liaise with our prescriptions team.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
