Repeat Prescription Procedure
 
Guidance for Patients
  • All patients on repeat medication prescribed by a previous practice must make an appointment with a Dr or Practice Nurse.
     
  • Repeat prescriptions have a tear-off slip which lists the repeat medication you are taking. Please keep this slip in a safe place and use it to request your next supply of repeat medication.
     
  • Please give the practice a minimum of 48 hours notice prior to collecting your repeat prescription.
     
  • Lost prescriptions will be reprinted at the discretion of the Doctor.
     
  • Prescription items of an addictive nature will not be replaced.
     
  • Patients on long term medication can arrange with a local pharmacist for the prescription to be picked up and dispensed. Reception can provide you with more information on this service.
     
  • Patients taking oral contraception will not be issued with a repeat prescription unless they have had their blood pressure checked. There is a daily ‘Drop in Clinic’ between 11.00 – 11.40 a.m. If this is not convenient, appointments can be made with the practice nurse at any other time.
     
  • When collecting your prescription you may be asked to provide identity. You will be asked to check that all items requested have been issued. You are advised to do so before leaving the premises.
     
  • Prescription requests will not be taken over the telephone.
     
  • Please place all prescription requests in the box provided at reception. If you cannot deliver it by hand, we will accept postal requests as long as a stamped addressed envelope in enclosed.
     
  • The practice will accept faxed requests on 20388771.
     
  • The practice is closed on Bank Holidays and you are advised to order your repeat medication in plenty of time.
