"Collecting a prescription"

About: Basildon Hospital / Rheumatology Basildon Hospital Rheumatology Basildon SS16 5NL

Posted by Exasparated (as a parent/guardian), 15 months ago

My daughter works and has to drive and then park at Basildon Hospital to firstly collect her prescription for medication from the Rheumatology Department - which can take some time to be dealt with and is at one end of the hospital - then walk to the other end and put her prescription in at the pharmacy and wait for this to be dealt with.
In all she was waiting around for nearly an hour causing a £3.10 parking charge and a hole in her working day because the Rheumatology Department will not send the prescription to the pharmacy as was previously done. This is apparently because people are not collecting their medications from the hospital pharmacy.
