Over subscribed surgery
Auto renewal prescription service is no longer available, unfortunately I wasn’t told this until I went to collect my prescription on Saturday. Luckily the pharmacist gave me an emergency prescription of 4 tablet (costing me £5!). My prescription is for citalopram...it cannot be suddenly withdrawn. I feel as if LDC care more about squeezing as many people into Peacehaven and Telscombe than the health and wellbeing of it’s residents. Luckily my mental health has been stable for sometime due to my regular medication, but if I think back to when I was in crisis I was in a very dark place, and it was due to the care I received from Rowe Avenue surgery that I am here today. My heart goes out to anyone that may be in that place today as trying to get an appointment to see a doctor at this practice takes great resilience....something that is lacking when depressed or anxious. Www.nhs.uk has an urgent mental health helpline I would strongly recommend this whilst waiting for an appointment.
