Closure of POD

Information for Patients and the Public

NHS Sussex Integrated Care Board has taken the decision to close the Prescription Ordering Direct (POD) service from Friday 29 September 2023. Read more via our news section

Please note, for safety reasons, we do not accept requests for repeat prescriptions by telephone

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked at least once a year to review these; certain medication may require more regular review. A notification message should appear on your repeat prescription slip when one is due.

Medication reviews are undertaken by the GP and can either be a face-to-face appointment or alternatively more are being undertaken over the telephone as a telephone consultation.

There are a couple of exceptions where our nursing staff will review medication if you attend one of our specialist clinics e.g. diabetes or asthma but it is always good to check if you are not sure.

As soon as you get this message on your prescription slip and to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions please book an appointment which could be a telephone consultation or a face-to-face appointment.
