When you leave hospital, your medication may have changed.
Sometimes we do not receive a copy of your discharge summary listing your new medication until some weeks after you have been discharged.
So while you may have been given a short supply of medication by the hospital, we will need to be informed of any medication changes that the hospital has prescribed at the earliest opportunity.
This will enable us to prepare your next repeat prescription in good time.
So please arrange for a copy of your discharge summary to be delivered to the surgery as soon as possible after your have been discharged.
If your discharge summary does not list your medication changes, we can use it to contact the hospital and confirm what might be needed.
Please note that we are unable to issue a changed prescription without receiving formal notification.
