Repeat Prescriptions
We have found that we are having an
increasing number of repeat prescription
requests that patients deem to be urgent i.e.
where they expect that the request will be
completed same day or immediately. We would like
to remind all our patients of the repeat
prescription process as we will be enforcing
this process, unless there are exceptional
circumstances, with effect from 1st
January 2018
- Please help us to improve efficiency and
avoid waste - only order what you need
- Please manage your medication carefully
- Please plan ahead when re-ordering -
ideally placing your request one
week in advance of when your medication is
due to run out
You can order your repeat prescription in the
following ways:
- If you find it difficult to remember to
arrange for a repeat prescription – ask your
chemist to do it for you. If you give them
permission they will take over the
arrangements for ordering your prescription
when it is due and dispense it ready for you
to collect (Or they may even offer a home
delivery service if you are housebound).
- Online using our
Patient Access link and your PIN number
to log into your personal medical record and
medication details.
-
Click here to order online if you do not
have access to your medical record through
our online service - you will need to know
the details of the repeat medication you
wish to order.
- via our prescription
email facility.
- in writing via the Royal Mail post, or
by putting your prescription request in our
prescription request boxes (They are sited
in the waiting room and on the wall outside
the main entrance to the building)
Whichever method of ordering you choose please
allow a minimum of 2 working days for us to get your
prescription ready. If your prescription
is collected on your behalf by a pharmacy please
allow a further day for the pharmacy to collect
and dispense your medication.
If you use a regular chemist and let us know
we can arrange for the prescription to go
straight to your preferred chemist so that you
can pick up your medicine without needing to
collect your paper prescription.
If you would like your prescription mailed to
your home address please leave us a stamped
addressed envelope.
