IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

URGENT PRESCRIPTION REQUESTS

Due to the increasing numbers of patients requesting their prescriptions on an urgent basis, St David's Clinic has implemented an Urgent Prescription Policy to ensure efficient management of medication requests whilst minimising the risk of errors.

Unless urgent prescription requests are deemed as such by our pharmacist or Duty GP, requests will be processed routinely. If deemed urgent, we aim to process requests promptly but cannot guarantee same-day turnaround.

A text notification will be sent once the request has been processed.

If you forget to obtain a repeat medication, contact your pharmacy for assistance under the Urgent Provision of Repeat Medication Service or call 111 for guidance.

EMERGENCY SUPPLY OF MEDICINE FROM YOUR LOCAL PHARMACY

Did you know that your local pharmacy can provide you with an emergency supply of medicine?

If you run out of prescribed medicine and can’t get a prescription before your next dose, you may be able to obtain an emergency supply from a pharmacy. You should take an old prescription/repeat slip or the medicine packaging with you to the pharmacy, if you have it.

You'll be assessed by the pharmacist to find out:

• If you need the medicine immediately

• Who previously prescribed the medicine

• What dose of the medicine you normally take

The pharmacist needs to know the answers to these questions before they can make an emergency supply of a prescription–only medicine. They will keep a record of your details, the medicine they provide and the nature of the emergency. The pharmacist will also inform your GP that an emergency supply has been made.
