Important Reminder for Our Patients: Don't Wait Until the Last Minute to Order Your Medications!
Hello everyone,
We hope you're all doing well and staying healthy!
We want to take a moment to remind you of the importance of ordering your medications in advance. Here are a few key reasons why you should avoid last-minute orders:
1. Avoid Delays Ordering your medications last minute can lead to unexpected delays. Our practice staff work hard to process requests quickly, but high demand, supply chain issues, or prescription verification can cause unavoidable delays.
2. Ensure Medication Availability Some medications may require special ordering or may not be in stock at all times. By placing your order early, the pharmacy can ensure that your medication is available when you need it.
3. Continuous Treatment
Running out of your medication can interrupt your treatment plan, potentially leading to health complications. Timely refills help maintain the effectiveness of your treatment and keep your health on track.
4. Reduced Stress
Knowing that your medication is ready and waiting for you can reduce stress and anxiety. Planning ahead means one less thing to worry about!
5. Efficient Service
Advanced orders help our surgery operate more efficiently, allowing us to serve you better and more quickly. It also helps us manage our workload and resources more effectively.
To make the process easier, consider setting a reminder 10 days before your medication runs out. You can also utilise our online ordering system (SystmOnline) or the NHS app for quick and convenient refills.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Your health and well-being are our top priority! If you have any questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
Stay healthy and take care!
