Pharmacist calling back from GPs

[Orangesandlemons77]

Will they be able to prescribe do you know?

I emailed GPs about needing some meds for nerve pain and have seen this online.

Is this a pharmacist who works in a practice? If so then some can prescribe. We have 2 who can do that.

Yes it is. Have not had this before.

Yep, the pharmacist in our surgery often rings and prescribes

OK, I'll see how it goes. I'm on a numbder of meds so hope it goes OK.

Yes they may also do a full review with you to see if there is a better alternative medication for you to be on

Ok

I've spoken to the pharmacist in our practice a few times and they're ok but always had to run any medication decisions past a GP first so it could take a couple of days to get the prescription. They were always thorough and v helpful but didn't have the autonomy to immediately prescribe

So, the GP told the pharmacist to ring with a couple of options, seemed to work quite well.

It's gone straight to the pharmacy. They have got very efficient recently.

Yes many can now.
