Most recently in September they provided only half my prescribed medication which should have been two months worth and told me I had up to a month to retrive the rest. When I went in 16 days later I was informed because I didn't collect it, they'd essentially written it off and told me they provided it to someone else. Instead of reordering what they already owed me, what I didn't realise they'd done was request another full prescription from my GP. When I returned shortly after to pick up my owed medication which was 1 months worth... they gave me one month only which I didn't question as I thought I was just picking up the half they owed me from September which should last me to November. Today my GP surgery confirmed they couldn't prescribe me anymore as I'd already been provided the full amount that was requested early by the pharmacy. Highfield Pharmacy claim they gave me the full amount when I went to pick up the remainder which I can confirm 100% they didn't. The fact they also required a new prescription from my GP instead of just ordering what they already owed me also means it goes on my record that im over using the medication and now I'm stuck where the GPs are concerned to provide me more understandably and the pharmacy essentially owes me which they don't seem to want to provide or admit AND my medical record is wrong as I didn't even request the additional prescription. This is medication I need to take daily and the pharmacy have completely messed things up for me. This is not the first time either.
There's such and incredible lack or organisation and record keeping that it's impacted me negatively. Furthermore each time I've visited, there have been several people having non work related conversations whilst customers aren't being served. Half the time I don't get call backs when I'm told I will get one. It wouldn't surprise me if records are being fudged or at least not being recorded properly and I'm overall extremely unhappy with the service which recently has caused me severe stress as I'm anxious what will happen regarding my missing medication. This place used to be great so it's a shame but it's been a very long time in decline.
This is a healthcare setting. It isn't acceptable. I didn't feel safe picking up my medication.
If you are clinically vulnerable, avoid!!!
