Prescriptions

Repeat Prescriptions  – can now be ordered online  – see order your prescriptions on the menu

The practice operates a computerised repeat prescription system. Please co-operate with the following steps:-

• Tick the items required on your repeat prescription slip. Place your repeat slip in the white prescription box situated to the left just inside the waiting room.
•  In an emergency if you have to request repeats by telephone please telephone 01505 324249  and leave a message, stating clearly your name, address and full details of what you require.  Messages are regulalry reviewed. It is not necessary to speak to a receptionist in person to request a repeat prescription.
• You can also send your repeat prescription slip together with a SAE by post and this will be posted back to you.
• You can arrange for your regular chemist to collect the prescription for you.

Please note the medical centre does not have a post box, therefore do not attempt to leave a repeat prescription request slip outside office hours. (The practice is not a dispensing practice).

Medication Reviews

GPs will review the repeat medication which patients are being prescribed and will routinely contact patients as appropriate to arrange a review.  The review is usually by telephone, but patients on repeat medication may also be asked to have a medication review with a pharmacist or to make an appointment with a GP.
