Changes in prescription requests times increasing to 72 hours (3 days)
Dear Patients,
Ainsdale Medical Centre are extending the required notice period for medication requests from 48 hours to 72 hours to improve service reliability and ensure patient safety. This change is necessary due to:
Increasing Prescription Volume
As our patient base grows, so does the number of repeat prescription requests. The additional 24 hours helps our team process all requests accurately without compromising quality.
Improved Accuracy and Safety
More time allows for thorough checks by clinicians and pharmacists, reducing the risk of errors or delays in issuing the correct medication.
Operational Efficiency
The extended timeframe supports a smoother workflow for the prescription team, reducing last-minute pressure and helping maintain a high standard of care.
Unforeseen Delays
Staff absences can cause unexpected delays. A longer notice period gives us flexibility to handle these issues without affecting your access to medication.
