it’s been a strange few months ,most of us who are carers for loved ones have had an extra burden On our shoulders looking after and keeping our carees safe ....I do wonder what extra burden the N.H.S would have if we didn’t do what we do ,I got a little frustrated today as my wife’s prescription which was taken in a week ago wasn’t ready because the pharmacist didn’t turn up for work and they were awaiting a locum .....blaming the covid 19 as is now the norm .....I know times are difficult but I think 7 days to dispense is more than enough ......
take care my friends ,be safe and keep up the good work

That kept happening to us so we changed pharmacies.

That is a very long wait for them to dispense @stephenjohn! Have you managed to get it now?Community Manager

Hi I agree it is a very long wait and would have thought it had been prepared before then. Just a suggestion could you not use a pharmacy delivery service or the NHS app where you order and get it delivered
