We unfortunately have difficulties with many patients requesting urgent medication as they have run out. Please make efforts to plan ahead. Certain medications have been included in our emergency/urgent prescription list. If you have run out and need urgent issue we will endeavour for the prescription to be done on the day. You will usually be asked to return after 5pm to collect the prescription. You can see a copy of our policy on Emergency/Urgent Prescriptions here.
