Repeat Prescriptions

 

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

Please allow us 72 hours (three working days), to process your prescription request and please remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account.

We only accept computer printed ‘repeats’ list that is printed on the opposite half of your prescriptions.

We do not accept repeat prescription requests over the phone.

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

As qualified healthcare professionals, pharmacists can offer advice on minor illnesses such as:

  • coughs
  • colds
  • sore throats
  • tummy trouble
  • aches and pains

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

By Post

The practice runs a computerised prescription system that allows you to receive long term medication without seeing a doctor every time.

Please hand in your computer printed 'repeats' list (found on the opposite half of your prescription) into reception before you need your medication. If you would like us to return it by post please enclose a stamped addressed envelope.

Prescription Theft Important Information

Prescription theft is becoming an increasing problem nationally, especially of prescriptions for common ‘drugs of misuse’. Therefore, to ensure we are operating safely and minimising this risk we are adopting a new process:

  • When collecting prescriptions on behalf of a patient from the surgery that includes one or more “controlled drugs” we now require a ‘letter of authority’ from the patient, along with a copy of ID for both the patient and yourself.

For more information on 'controlled drugs' see the gov website

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a clinician 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.

 

Medication Queries

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