How to order
In person
You can do this by returning the right-hand half of a previous prescription for the required medications, or by submitting a handwritten request.
Please hand this repeat prescription in at the reception desk.
By post
You can post your prescription slip or written request to us at the Practice. You should include a stamped addressed envelope for return by post if you will not be able to pick up your prescription from the surgery.
Pharmacy Ordering/Collection Service
Pharmacies offer a prescription collection service from our Practice. They 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.
Phone
In the event of an urgent request due to infirmity you may telephone the surgery after 11am.
Please send repeat prescription requests to [email protected]
Medication reviews
The doctors at the Practice regularly review the medication you are taking. This may involve changes to your tablets, in accordance with current Health Authority policies. Please be reassured that this will not affect your treatment. We may sometimes call you in for a medication review and this may involve blood tests. It is very important that you attend these appointments, as it keeps you safe whilst taking medication.
Non-Repeat Items (Acute Requests)
Non Repeat Prescriptions known as “Acute” prescriptions are medicines that have been issued by the Doctor but not added to your repeat prescription records. This is normally a new medication issued for a trial period and may require a review visit with your Doctor prior to being added onto your repeat prescription records. Some medications are recorded as acute as they require to be closely monitored by the Doctor. You may therefore not always be issued with your requested medication as you may need to consult with your Doctor.
Hospital Requests
When you are discharged from hospital you should normally receive twenty eight days supply of medication.
On receipt of your medication requirements, which will be issued to you by the hospital, please bring this to the surgery or post via S.A.E. before your supply of medication has run out.
Hospital requests for change of medication will be checked by the GP first, and if necessary your Doctor will issue you with a Prescription. The Practice will endeavour to issue you with your prescription on that day, but it cannot be issued until your medical details are checked by the Doctor, your prescription should normally be ready by 5pm on that day, or you may be advised to attend the next day or collect from a local pharmacy.
