Ordering repeat prescriptions

Prescriptions

The easiest ways to order repeat prescriptions are :

Please note: repeat prescriptions can be ordered up to 10 days, before the due date. It is important to order early, to ensure you continue to have an ongoing supply.

 

Other ways to order your repeat prescription are:

  • In person – please place your request slip in the letterbox outside, or in the repeat prescription box located in the waiting room
  • By Post
  • Via the Pharmacy – (Housebound patients only)

Please give us 48 hours notice.

If you are unable to order your repeat prescription directly from your GP practice by any of the ways described above, please contact us.

The Surgery has now signed up to the Electronic Prescription Service.  This allows the Practice to send prescriptions electronically to your chosen Pharmacy. If you would like further information about this service, please contact the Surgery or your local pharmacy. If you take regular medication and your treatment is stable you may be eligible for repeat dispensing. For more information ask the doctor or nurse.

You can nominate your pharmacy by using the NHS app  or alternatively contact the surgery and speak to a member of staff.

Medication Review

If you have a repeat prescription, a medication review will be done, regularly by a GP or Pharmacist. This is important to assess that the medications you are taking, still appropriate and effective.

 

Queries about your medication

If you have any queries regarding your medication, you can contact the Surgery (after 11am), and select the ‘Medication Queries’ option on the telephone.

We now have a team of in-house Pharmacists, (Deepa, Helaina & Poonam) who work with the Surgery on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. You can request a telephone consultation with a Pharmacist, for any medication related query.

Alternatively, you can contact you local Community Pharmacist for advice.
