I used to phone the chemist and order it, but they've stopped doing that now as they are (constantly) short of staff. Which is one of the reasons why I was asking how long other chemists take to process prescriptions.
We all have to order through the GP now because Rowlands aren't coping. They seem to give a lousy service now.
There are other chemists around here, and I was wondering whether to change, but they are further away from the GP practice, which isn't good when the chemist staff have to pick up the prescriptions.
I know the chemist can’t access my records at the doctors because on a rare occasion if there is a mistake or a query with my mediation, l have to sort it with the surgery. Then l have to report back to the chemist.
The chemist say, they only follow what the doctor has ordered and signed for every 56 days.

Just been on Lloyds website Art. They say 'they do reminders to request your repeat prescription'. Must be a 'big chemist' thing

When I collect it, the pharmacy always tears the white bit of paper off the copy, and hands it to me. This is probably what Scott meant about ticking off what he needs from the list.
I prefer to order online a few days before I run out.
On the website you can also make'cancel appointments, access your medical records, leave a message for the doctor, and see all your meds clearly.
I order once a month.
Thanks for that Mups. Another 'monther'. Yes, the 'tear off' bit, I had to use that today to order at the GP's. We seemingly have to put it in the box outside the surgery. Then they whizz it off online to the chemist, which apparently takes 48hrs for them to do that.
All very long winded now.

Aaah, I see. I don't tick any boxes, I just have my usual two that are listed.

The Lloyds chemist, l go to to is always impossible to park near. Now if they delivered, it would save me a lot of trouble.
I must make inquires...

With all this change, I've no idea if they do still deliver to those who normally have them delivered. I feel sure/hope they are still doing that for those who need them to be delivered!

Re: Couple of questions re Repeat Prescriptions and Chemists
Mr Mags and I both get our Meds from Lloyds Chemist.We request our repeat prescriptions online, the doctors acknowledge them both and I can collect my meds after 3 days. Mr Mags has his delivered to the door the day after they are ordered.
He is given 3 months of meds and I am only given 2 months ..... I've no idea why!

There doesn't seem to be any continuity throughout does there? There must be a reason for it all - bugga innit
