PLEASE GIVE PLENTY OF TIME FOR YOUR REPEAT PRESCRIPTIONS TO BE PROCESSED. 

Repeat Prescriptions 

Any patient on regular treatment will be given a request slip listing every item that they are allowed to have without seeing a Doctor. Please tick ONLY the items you require and put the slip in the box provided on the outside of the surgery (During the COVID19 pandemic).

Repeat prescriptions should be ready for collection within 48 hrs. However you can order up to 5 working days before your repeat is due.

You can register for the NHS App.  You can therefore request your repeat medications using this and not have to come into the surgery.

From the 6th April 2020 we are entering a new phase in electronic prescriptions.

ALL prescriptions issued will now be "electronic".

This means you can go to your regular chemist if nominated to collect your prescriptions.  If you have not chosen a nominated pharmacist, you can walk into any pharmacy with your NHS number and a few details like your name, address and DOB an you can get your prescription without the need of paper. 

If you like paper, don't worry, you can still collect your prescription from the surgery with a barcode on it and get your prescription dispensed in any pharmacy.  Whilst no-one likes change, this is a change for the better.  It reduces the number of times you have to come in to the surgery, and also reduces the costs we incur in issuing your prescription to you.

Electronic prescriptions gives you the control, less hassle and reduced worry of losing your paper prescription.

From the 6th April 2020- there is no more guessing if you prescription is paper or electronic - it is simpler - its is safer - IT IS NOW ALWAYS ELECTRONIC.

If you have any issues or questions please ask to speak to our new Clinical Pharmacist, Harvi or our Prescribing Clerk, Monica.
