Blood tests may need to be organised before the doctor can issue more medications.
For certain groups of medications including blood pressure tablets or medications used in arthritis it is very important for the patient to have regular blood tests to ensure blood counts are safe and kidney functions are maintained.
For this reason when you request a prescription, the doctor may ask the reception staff to contact you to inform you of the need for a blood test.
The doctor will be happy to issue the prescription for you once the doctor is sure that the message has been passed onto you to have these important blood tests.
In this situation we will try our best not to delay your prescription and we hope you understand the safety reason behind this process
Please note that all medication is issued at Doctor’s discretion.
