Repeat Prescriptions
Repeat prescriptions will be issued at the doctor’s discretion and are normally for patients on long-term treatment. Patients can give their copy request slip into the surgery between 08:00 to 18:30. Prescriptions can also be ordered online or by post.
We are unable to take prescription requests over the telephone, with the exception of housebound patients, who are requested to telephone the surgery.
Please allow 48 hours’ notice before collecting your prescriptions (not including bank holidays and weekends).
Electronic Prescription Service (EPS)
If you require your prescription to be collected by the chemist, indicate clearly on your request (this arrangement is your responsibility). Or please complete a nomination form for Electronic prescribing.
Your medication is subject to periodic review and you will be asked to make an appointment to see your doctor or practice nurse.
If you are currently on warfarin medication, please ensure that the practice is shown your yellow book. This is to ensure that the correct dose is issued to you and to document your attendance at the anti-coagulant clinic.
You can register for the EPS online by completing the Electronic Prescription Service Registration form.
Collection Of Controlled Drugs
When collecting a Controlled Drug prescription you will be required to show identification and sign prescription collection form. This will also apply to your chosen representative.
Collection Of Prescriptions On Behalf Of Someone Else
Due to the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) if you would like your prescriptions picked up by a family member or friend on your behalf, please ask for a nomination form at reception as we will need permission from the patient that they can collect for you.
Ordering Repeat Prescriptions Online
