Outpatient Prescriptions
Patients should be advised that from 1st October 2018 the practice will no longer issue prescription requests which are hand written from Outpatients clinics. The reason being that it is considered that :-
Hand Written prescriptions are not safe, they are often not legible and do not always contain enough information about why the medication is needed.
It is also part of the Hospitals obligations to provide GPs with a typed letter within seven days of any clinic appointment following which we would aim to prescribe requested medication within five days of receiving these letters.
Disabled Access
There are three dedicated disabled parking space at the side of the practice. Directly opposite this space there is easy access to the building. Should any patient have difficulty entering our main doors a member of staff is readily available to assist and can be contacted via our intercom facility. Within the building there is easy access and suitable toilet facilities. Patients who are hard of hearing or require additional help should inform our reception staff.
Text Message
