The Lawson Practice
The Lawson Practice offers a range of services accessible via their dedicated prescriptions department phone line. Common reasons for calling include booking or rescheduling GP and nurse appointments, registering new patients, and requesting repeat prescriptions. The practice also facilitates interpreter services for non-English speakers and provides access to clinical services such as vaccinations and minor surgeries. While specific wait times are not provided, calling during non-peak hours, such as mid-morning or early afternoon, may reduce wait times. Extended hours are occasionally available on some evenings and Saturdays every five weeks, offering additional flexibility for patients.
