PRESCRIPTION REQUESTS In common with other surgeries, we are receiving an increase in volume of prescription requests. Also, GPs are having to undertake more stringent safety checks when issuing repeat prescriptions. It is therefore with regret that with immediate effect we require 48 working hours notice (2 days excluding weekends) from receipt of a prescription request to collection by the patient.
We recognise this will be inconvenient for some of you, but unfortunately we have no alternative.
This will also bring us in line with other surgeries as the national standard is 72 hours .
Please note, if you send a prescription request to repeats@posterngate.co.uk, you will now receive an automatic reply via email which lets you know your email has been received.
