❗ Important ❗

Our Dispensary team are experiencing high levels of absence due to sickness and holiday.

*EDIT*
The machine is now back up and running. Keeping our fingers crossed it stays that way 🤞🏼
(The PS24 machine is also out of order again which is adding extra pressure on the team with patients collecting direct from the surgery)

Some patients may receive an SMS asking them to contact the surgery, this is important due to nationwide medication shortages.

Please can you be mindful about contacting the surgery and only do so if really necessary today, whilst the team deals with the items that need priority.

Please be patient with our team.

We really appreciate your help and support 🙏🏼

🌟 PS24 UPDATE 🌟

Unfortunately the machine is now out of order and the engineer cannot come out until tomorrow.

We will keep you updated on the repair and when the machine is back up and running.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Please contact dispensary and they will be happy to help 😊

Original post below -

Important information regarding our PS24 (prescription medicine).

Unfortunately the miserable weather is causing problems for some people collecting medications from the machine.

If the weather continues throughout this evening you may encounter problems retrieving your prescriptions.

This is purely weather related and the issue should resolve once the weather improves.

Any problems, please contact the dispensary and our team will be happy to help 😊

Thank you 😊

🌟 Dispensary 🌟

In order to help our staff and help us to keep things running smoothly for you, please read the following -

1. You can only order 7 days before your medication is due.
If you order before that time the medication will not be ordered.
If you need it sooner, please speak to Dispensary.

2. Patients who use the PS24 (prescription machine) please remember to collect your medication on receiving your text message.
The machine only holds medication for four days and if it is not collected, our staff then have to remove it and reload. This creates more work and also blocks the machine for further medication to be loaded.
If you are unable to collect within the time, please speak to Dispensary.

3. Christmas... As you know it is an extremely busy time for surgery. Please try not to order unless necessary and if you do need to order your medication early, please speak to Dispensary.

Our hardworking staff really appreciate your patience and support.

Edit - now working 😊

We are having a problem with our phone line.
Please be patient with us as we try to rectify the problem.
The surgery is open as normal.
We apologise for any inconvenience.

So I can finally make the announcement we have all been waiting for!!

The PS24 dispensing machine is back in operation. We are going to start loading it from this evening, so if you have ordered medications after Monday and use the facility you should get an SMS code to retrieve medications at a time convenient to you!

We really do appreciate this has been a very long out of order period and after long battles between different IT providers and ourselves we are really pleased to get back to our normal machine routine!

If you don't use the service but wish to please drop into reception and collect a form to sign up to the service.
