How Do I....
Obtain A Repeat Prescription?
With the doctor's prior agreement, authorised repeat prescription items can be obtained from the surgery without seeing the doctor. Repeats should be ordered at the dispensary and wherever possible the tear-off order forms which are issued with each prescription should be used.
Using order forms makes for a safer and more efficient system. It is vital that no mistakes are made where medicines are involved.
All the local chemists collect prescriptions daily from the surgery. If you wish to use this service please indicate your preferred chemist on your repeat order form. Authorised repeat medication can be ordered online (see form below), over the telephone or, alternatively, by using the repeat medication slip which can be handed in at the dispensary hatch or posted through the door.
URGENT MEDICATION REQUESTS.
Should you ever require urgent medication outside of the surgery opening hours, please contact NHS Direct on 0845 46 47
PLEASE ALLOW A MINIMUM OF 48 HOURS WHEN RE-ORDERING SCRIPTS AND REMEMBER TO ALLOW TIME FOR WEEKENDS AND BANK HOLIDAYS.
The dispensers are not authorised to issue medication that are not listed on the authorised order form. In such cases the doctor must be contacted directly. A medication review must be done on a regular basis for all repeat items. The date when a repeat prescription item requires a review will be indicated on your repeat prescription paper. Please ensure you make an appointment in good time.
Dispensary
We are permitted to dispense drugs at the surgery to those patients who live more than one mile from the chemist as the crow flies. The dispensary is open from 8.45am to 6.30pm and has a separate phone line - 01507 603695. We offer a dispensing review of used medicines (DRUM). Please ask our dispensary team for details of this service.
THIS FORM BELOW IS CURRENTLY DISABLED - PLEASE USE ONE OF THE ALTERNATIVE METHODS MENTIONED ABOVE TO REQUEST PRESCRIPTIONS.
