Acute Prescriptions 

Acute prescriptions are medication that has been started and will require monitoring by the GP to determine whether or not you need to stay on this long term - this medication will not appear on your prescription re-order form.  Your GP may in due course switch this over to repeat medication if appropriate.  Therefore it may take longer than 5 working days to action your acute medication request - this is because your GP may require more time to review this particular type of prescription.
