Running out of medication is stressful at the best of times. If you live with a long-term condition it can also be dangerous. A small amount of planning prevents almost every emergency we see at the pharmacy counter.
Order seven days before you run out
Most NHS prescriptions take two to three working days to process and dispense. Building in a week's buffer keeps you safe even if a bank holiday or weekend lands in the middle.
Use one pharmacy, not several
Splitting your medication across multiple pharmacies makes it much harder for any team to spot interactions, allergies or duplications. Choose one trusted pharmacy and stick with it.
- One consistent record of everything you take
- Faster turnaround at busy times
- Easier conversations with the same team
