Repeat Prescriptions

 

Please follow the guidelines and choose the right option for you.

Ordering a Repeat Prescription

If you need a repeat of medication the doctor has already prescribed for you, please give us two working days' notice.

We ask that you only order the medication you actually need rather than automatically ordering everything that is on your repeat prescription.

Repeat dispensing requests are best made by using the slip provided. They may also be ordered online (registration required); please still allow two days for requests.

Repeat Prescriptions will only be taken over the phone for house bound patients.

When you order a prescription online, you can have it sent electronically to a pharmacy of your choice. This is called a nomination.

Pharmacy Ordering / Collection Service

Pharmacies offer a prescription collection service from our Practice

Your pharmacy can also order your medication on your behalf. This saves you time and unnecessary visits to the Practice. Please contact the Pharmacy of your choice for more information if you wish to use this service.

About pharmacists

They can also advise on medicine that you can buy without a prescription.

In Person

You can order in person by returning the right-hand half of a previous prescription for the required medications.

Or, you can submit a handwritten request. You may also write out an order for someone else. You must include the patient's name, date of birth and requested medication.

By Post

You can post your prescription slip or written request to us at the Practice.

If you're unable to collect your prescription from the surgery, please include a stamped, addressed envelope for return by post. Please allow at least seven days if requesting your medication by post.

Medication Queries

Please get in touch with the surgery to raise a query about your medication.

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip.

Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.
