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.
- 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:
- using your
NHS account (through the NHS
website or in the NHS App)
- 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.
-
You can use our online
repeat
prescription form.
- Via our
prescription
Email facility. Please include your full
name, date of birth as well as name of
medicine(s), dosage and strength, plus your
preferred pharmacy.
- 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 3 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.
