Repeat prescriptions, five ways to reduce delays

Five simple habits

1. 01

   Order earlier than you think

   A few days of buffer helps with ordering and GP processing.

2. 02

   Keep your details up to date

   Address and phone changes are a common cause of failed contact.

3. 03

   Use one pharmacy consistently

   It keeps your record cleaner and reduces duplicate requests.

4. 04

   Check what is actually due

   Not every item is always authorised at the same time.

5. 05

   Ask if an item is hard to source

   We can suggest alternatives to discuss with the prescriber.
