GP surgery repeat prescriptions - behind the times!

[connie104]

In Spain where I live the system is quite good you have a credit card type card and the doctor puts it in his computer and adds prescriptions and length of time and then you take it to the chemists and they put it in their computer and dispense the medicines . Good system as long as you don't lose your card ! Takes ages to get a replacement !

My surgery uses the SystmOnline online ordering website. You can't order more until a week before it is due. You then state which pharmacy you'd like the prescription sent to.

I can also book appointments with my GP with this system, but not an appointment with the nurse.
