I normally get my prescription medication  by post, but I needed to get a one off  today.

Having tried two pharmacies which didn't have it, I went to Sogim in Lordship Lane.

I handed in the prescription and asked if they had it in stock, as if not I would try somewhere else.

After about half an hour (sic) during which a stream of people came and went, several with issues concerning the non ordering or non arrival of their own prescriptions, and at least one reaching  the end of their tether, I was finally  asked my address and a package handed to me.

Having gone a little way down the road, I glanced at the package label and found I had been given someone else's prescription.

Same first name, completely different surname and address, and - obviously - the wrong medication.

What on earth is going on here?  What is the point in asking your address if it's not actually checked before they hand over the medication?

Why were about two thirds of the customers there with complaints? 

What other mistakes might be being made which could have more serious consequences?

I'm interested to know if anyone else has had a similar experience or if I just went in there when they were having a bad day.

I will never use Sogim again unless I absolutely have no choice 🙄

Oh, and parents. If you are going to let your child put a  toy from the bin by the counter in their mouth, blooming buy it, don't just put it back in the bin and give your child another one. 

And then let your child do the same with about three other toys 😡 and buy none of them 

And yes, I did say something to the parent. The assistant didn't seem in the least concerned.

Rant over.

My mum had used Sogim's when they were still in what is now the Leyland DIY shop and the service was hit and miss, but wouldn't use it again.  She uses Sadlers opposite Dulwich Library instead.

Vale Pharmacy IMHO is the best of the lot down that end of LL.

Yes I tried Vale,  but they didn't have what I needed. Wish I had just got a bus and gone to Sadlers (that would have been my next option if Sogim hadn't had it).

Lloyds in North Cross Road is my nearest pharmacy, but .....

I always have trouble getting my prescription filled at Lloyds, but, to be fair, some of it has turned out to be the GPs fault. There doesn't seem anywhere you can totally rely on.

Lloyds used to be really good at preparing repeat prescriptions straight away, but since a change in staff they only do it when you turn up and sometimes that means they won't order it until you turn up and then have to return again another day.     Not helped that on some days, they close at 3pm still if the pharmacist has to pick up their kids from school and can't find cover.

We actually switched to Sogim for my husband's regular prescription, after terrible experiences with both Sadlers and Lloyds! Sogim have been brilliant and never had any issues! Hope that isn't going to change now!! 

Same here. I've only had one experience so far, but it was a hell of a lot better than Lloyds.

    • Gosh, calm down.. How about not getting so heated, and not eat for 24 hours with sips of water? Try it and you may, just may understand, starvation, no water. No meds at all even if you need them - hasten to add, don’t do it at all if you are medically dependent. In fact, why doesn’t ED - do this for half a day - say in Oct, when everyone has come back from enjoying their, hols, new term starting and as a community, we could all be 1.? Before, November, fireworks, etc.                    
    • Many thanks I have sent them a message  
    • Stop foreign aid spend and re-direct those funds to improve the lives of UK citizens.  People shouldn't have to rely on charities and food banks, their is enough food wasted in this country already which could be re-directed.  Let their own Govts feed them, why does the UK have to do it, how about other nations contributing.  Well if aid can't reach them, how are they supposed to be fed if as you say food parcels being dropped from planes doesn't work.  Lets sort out this country first and put UK citizens first for a change.   
    • Well that really is not Christian Spirit at all - we all live in this world and yes, totally agree that it would be wonderful to have no conflict in the world but that is not possible. Yes we have people in need of food  in this country but overall enough charities and organisation in the west to help. We are talking about thousands of people who are starving - not just going hungry - a huge difference would you not agree ? Aid can’t reach people - for whatever conflict and don’t think people dropping parcels, boxes etc from planes would be the answer either.
