Any ideas how to fast track a repeat prescription?

So dd needs regular life saving medication. She goes to Canada for 2 weeks on Sunday. She tried to order her repeat prescription online last weekend and it wouldn't let her as she'd had it within the last 30 days.

She rang the GP on Monday and the receptionist said they couldn't do anything over the phone and she had to come in, but she was at work. Managed to do a repeat online prescription thing last night but it says 3-5 working days. She has rung the GP again and told them she's at a big risk if she doesn't get the meds by Saturday and the receptionist said there's nothing they can do.

Would her normal chemist give them to her early?

She is hardly going to be taking too many blood thinners to try and get high!

I said the same to my Drs when they would t give me the contraceptive pill as they thought I already had some stashed. I’m 54 for heavens sake! 😂

If she doesn’t have any luck she can email the practice manager and that person will be on to it quickly
