I ordered medications from the hospital pharmacy. Staff who are always helpful advise me that because I have moved to Perth I cannot store my prescriptions at Pharmacy and need to present these each time I need a script. This is extremely time-consuming and not a good system, in my opinion, especially if you’re unwell and you need to drop your script off and wait around for at least an hour if not longer.
Surely scripts can be kept at Pharmacy and a phone call can administer this to be made like normal Pharmacist do in the community; it’s a simple solution to help navigate a chronic health issue and obtain scripts and cut down on waiting times. Life with a chronic illness is already hard enough let alone having to spend more time in a hospital system when there is an easy solution to navigate this and keep the scripts at the pharmacy for ready ease of being made up when necessary.
Can I also add, that each time a patient comes in to collect their medication, They also have to pay for parking which is rather costly waiting for hour or more for a script to be made up is going to be very costly and not adequate
