Repeat prescriptions can be ordered as follows:

• In person – drop a written request/repeat slip in to reception.
• Online – Via Patient Access
• By telephone - phone the surgery, press 1 and leave a message on our prescription line. 

Collection

Repeat prescriptions will be ready for collection after 48 working hours. Please inform us if someone other than the patient will be collecting the prescription. Alternatively we are happy to post your prescription to you if you supply us with a stamped addressed envelope.

Many pharmacies will also organise to pick up and even deliver your prescription for you.

Minors (under sixteen years old) are not allowed to collect prescriptions.

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, the Practice Pharmacist or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip.

Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.

Knowing what medicines you take and how you take them helps everyone involved to make correct decisions about your care.

Healthcare professionals need to know all of the medicines you are taking, to check that medicines and combinations are effective and safe.

Having an up-to-date, written or printed list of your medicines can help:

• when you might not be able to remember your medications, for example, at an appointment or in an emergency.
• reduce the chance of errors.
• when requesting a repeat prescription from your GP. Make sure to keep a copy for yourself.
