If you have a repeat prescription i.e. something which the doctor has authorised for you to request without the need to be seen – there are a number of ways in which this can be processed for you: 1. Send in your repeat slip and collect the prescription from the surgery 24 hours later. 2. Send a stamped, self-addressed envelope together with your request slip to the surgery and we will post it back for you. [Whilst we can process this for you within 24 hours, please allow extra time for the postal service] 3. Ask your pharmacy if they can deliver your medication and either they will send us your slip or you can. [Please speak to your preferred pharmacy to discuss this option] 4. Via our web-site – details of how to register for our web site can be found later in this document. Details of how to use a repeat prescription are available in leaflet form at the reception.
Please note that to avoid errors we do not accept telephone requests for repeat prescriptions. Please allow enough time for us to process your requests so that you do not run out of your medication.
At least once a year all patients receiving repeat prescriptions will be invited to attend the surgery to review their medication. The date by which this review is due is indicated on your repeat slip.
