I need regular blood tests. Will this affect the delivery of my medication?

When you are referred for homecare, your clinical team will advise you of the need for regular blood tests and how to get these done.  It’s important that you get these done as directed by your hospital as blood results are required before they can write you a new prescription.   Any delay in blood testing will lead to a delay in getting your medication, as your hospital cannot raise a prescription safely without all the information they need.

We cannot process your medication order without a prescription, and even when the prescription is received, processing and organising your delivery can take some time. To minimise the risk of being left without your medication, please make sure you have blood tests in a timely manner and in line with the clinical team’s advice.
