Parking
10th Jun

Parking at Northlands

IMPORTANT NOTICE
 
Parking at Northlands Surgery from Tuesday 18th June 2024
 
The practice's patients who have appointments are struggling to park in the surgery car park due to others using the car park for their needs.
 
To improve availability of parking spaces for the practice patients we have taken the decision to install a car park security system.
 
When you attend the surgery, please ensure your car registration details are entered into the display pad as you enter reception.
 
Pharmacy customers will use the display pad in the pharmacy.
 
Please enter your car registration details every time you attend the surgery, even if the car you are travelling in is not yours.
 
As this system is being operated by Creative Car Parks any appeals should be made directly to them as detailed on the documentation sent out by them (www.ce-service.co.uk). The surgery is NOT responsible for any tickets issued and does not make any revenue from this change.

Repeat Prescription Requests

Repeat Prescription Requests:
 
As from Monday 10th June, POD (Prescription Ordering Service) will no longer be taking prescription requests.
The easiest ways to order repeat prescriptions are online:
 
SystmOnline, to set up an account, please bring a form of ID to the surgery.
 
Patients can also use the repeat slip (right hand side of green prescription) – ticking the items needed and handing this slip into the practice or posting it to the practice.
 
We do not take repeat prescription requests over the telephone. The most important reason is safety. Some telephone requests can result in misunderstandings or mistakes. We want to minimise the risk of a potential error causing a significant event.
 
Please allow 7 days for repeat prescriptions to be processed.
 
Regards
The Northlands Team
