Order Your Repeat Prescription

 

It is not always necessary to see the doctor or nurse each time you need your medication. Repeat prescriptions can be ordered in the following ways:

  • Online form 
  • Through your regular pharmacy
  • In person at reception

To avoid errors in medications, it is not possible for our reception staff to take requests for repeat prescriptions over the telephone.  

Prescriptions are now issued electronically. You can arrange to have prescriptions sent to a preferred pharmacy by getting in touch with them directly.

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked at least once a year to review these; certain medication may require more regular review. A notification message should appear on your repeat prescription slip when one is due.

Medication reviews are undertaken by the GP and can either be a face-to-face appointment or alternatively more are being undertaken over the telephone as a telephone consultation.

There are a couple of exceptions where our nursing staff will review medication if you attend one of our specialist clinics e.g. diabetes or asthma but it is always good to check if you are not sure.

As soon as you get this message on your prescription slip and to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions please book an appointment which could be a telephone consultation or a face-to-face appointment.
