When using any of these pharmacies, please use the prescription order form that is issued with your repeat prescription. Please give at least 48 hours’ notice and remember to include your name, address, date of birth and name of medication. This information is outlined on the repeat order form issued with prescriptions. Repeat prescriptions can be collected after 16:30 the following day. Alternatively, they can be picked up at one of the above pharmacies 48 hours after completing the re-order form at the pharmacy. Only those items due for renewal will be issued upon request.

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip. Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.

Under normal circumstances, please do not ask the doctor to process the issue of a routine repeat prescription during a surgery consultation. Please place your order at the front desk before or after your appointment with the doctor so that it can then be processed in line with practice policy.
