Patient

Thank you to all the staff at the prescription hub for your help, care, and support during the last few months. I was struggling to understand and juggle the ordering of my sister’s palliative care medication, and you took that worry away. I cannot Thank you enough for informing me of any changes and helping to synchronise everything, so I was not having to call in for her pain medication every week. For making a stressful situation easier at that time is something I will be forever grateful for.

I write to commend you and your staff for the professional, friendly manner at which they dealt with my query. After the worry of my father not taking his medication correctly, I feel that blister packs will be a great way of keeping track. Thank you for contacting the pharmacy on our behalf and arranging. Much Appreciated as always, keep up the good work.
