Obtain A Repeat Prescription?
We offer a repeat prescription service, whereby you may bring in or arrange to have your medication request slips brought into the practice or post/fax your requests into us. Please note - we DO NOT offer a repeat prescription over the telephone unless you are noted to be housebound on your medical record. We aim to have your prescription ready 48 hours after we receive your request. Please note that our staff sickness or unexpected high workload. Where this occurs we would ask that you communicate with our reception staff so that we can try to get urgently required medication to you on an individual basis, and not blame the reception staff if your prescription is not ready.
It is the patient's responibility to check the stock of their medication and ensure that they do not exhaust their supply and request a repeat prescription at the 'last minute'.
Furthermore, please ensure that you attend your scheduled medication reviews regularly especially if you are taking multiple repeat medications. If there are outstanding reviews the practice is within rights to withhold non-essential medication until the patient is contacted and agrees to attend for a review with the children. Refusal to attend the clinician for medication or other medical reviews indicates that it may be safe to treat your medical conditions and we may need to discuss this with you personally.
