Now that the electronic prescription process has arrived there will be a change in timescale in ordering and collection of prescriptions. Due to prescription volumes, Two working days are required for the surgery issuing prescriptions and another 2 working days for assembly of Repeat prescriptions. Emergency and Acute prescriptions will be dealt with immediately.

The Surgery will switch on their Electronic prescription system on November 12th so nominate us as your chosen Pharmacy if you want to get your prescriptions from us

Due to the levels of COViD in Eccleshall we are only allowing one person at a time in the Pharmacy at a time, in order to protect the staff.

Electronic prescription should be possible from Mid-November hopefully. Prescriptions will be automatically sent to the Pharmacy of your choice so if you want to collect your prescription from us you'll need to nominate us as your preferred collection point. You can do this either by telling us when you're in the Pharmacy or by filling out a nomination form also available in the Pharmacy. Each person has to fill a nomination themselves (Children and elderly can delegate this to others).

The Surgery and Pharmacy have agreed a process whereby if patients want their prescription collected and dispensed ready for collection, then you must contact the Pharmacy and we can arrange for this to happen. This is to bridge the gap until Prescriptions are sent electronically to us (November hopefully). The whole process will take a little longer than just producing prescription forms so allow an extra day or two for repeats.
