Processing a repeat prescription is not just a case of signing a prescription. Dr Lobo must review your notes and ensure that the prescription is still appropriate. He must also make sure that you have had relevant blood tests if needed, do not have any interacting drugs, and that there are no other reasons why you should not take the medication. This is important for your safety and also for medicolegal reasons. All of these things take time and cannot be done by any other member of your healthcare team.
Doctor appointments are available Monday to Friday 8.30-12.00 and 13.30-17.00. Nurse clinics are available Monday to Friday 8.30-12.00 and 13.30-17.00.
