"GP can't/won't renew prescription"

About: Liberty Bridge Road Practice

I have called and visited multiple times to request my prescription to treat my mental illness to be renewed and still am yet to receive anything. I was told that my flatmate could request a renewal while I was away on vacation - this was false and her attempts were in vain. I went yesterday, right after I got back, to request a renewal - was told an urgent prescription will be sent to my nominated pharmacy. I called my pharmacy today and they hadn't received anything. I called the GP again today, who said the same thing as yesterday, and told me she'd call me to update me by the end of the day - the GP closes in 40 mins and I haven't heard back. I don't know why it's so difficult to get my prescription when I've never had this issue with my previous GP before I moved. I'm at my wits end.

Dear patient. I'm sorry to hear that you had difficulty in getting your prescription. I appreciate that this must have been very frustrating for you and your friend when given incorrect information on our prescription request process. To avoid any further issues in obtaining your prescription on time, please download the NHS App which you can use to request your repeat prescription, see when it was last issued and the earliest you can request again. Thank you for taking the time to post your feedback, we have shared your comments with the reception team to ensure they understand and give out the correct information in future

Kind regards - Jess Kaur Practice Manager
