Repeat Prescriptions
Repeat prescriptions may be requested personally at the office, by letter, via a pharmacy or online (you will need to register for this service. Please speak to the receptionist if you wish to do this.)
Some pharmacies offer to make repeat requests on your behalf, but please note that this may take 2-3 working days longer before your prescription is ready.
Our repeat prescription service is a 72 hours service (changing from 48 hours from August 2018, please see 'news' item for more information). Please ensure you order your medication in plenty of time to let us and the pharmacy process your request.
They will be posted only if a SAE in provided.
Children may not legally collect them under the age of 16.
If your request is received after 5.30pm on a Friday afternoon, it may not be ready for collection or posting until after 2.00pm on the following Wednesday.
We now offer the electronic prescribing service. Please let us know if you wish to nominate a pharmacy for your prescriptions to be sent to electronically.
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.
