Prescriptions

REPEAT PRESCRIPTIONS

We are a fully computerised surgery and, for your safety all routine prescriptions are produced on our computer.  

We require at least 48 hours’ notice (more if you enclose a stamped addressed envelope for us to post it to you) so you should get the request to the surgery at least five days before you run out.  

The reason for this is to enable the doctors and staff to adequately monitor your prescription and make sure that you are not having inappropriate medication that may be harmful to your health in the long run.  

Please ensure you clearly mark the required medication.  To avoid errors occurring, we do not accept requests over the telephone for prescriptions.

MEDICATION REVIEWS

We review your medication on a regular basis. The date of your next review will be situated at the bottom of the repeat request slip. 

A medication review will enable us to make sure that you are taking what you need. It is also an opportunity to review your medical condition(s). 

If you have an appointment with a doctor and you know that your medication needs to be reviewed soon. Please discuss this with the doctor involved. This may avoid you having to make another appointment simply for a medication review.
