Repeat Prescriptions

Patients on long-term repeat medication can order prescriptions by completing the right hand side of the counterfoil and placing it in the box at our main reception desk.  

Please note:  we do not accept requests over the telephone and if the medication you are requesting is not on repeat you will need to see a doctor.

PLEASE NOTE:

• Our Prescription ordering service requires a minimum of 48 hours notice to ensure your prescription has been issued, checked and signed, ready for collection either by you or a designated Pharmacy acting on your instruction. Please order your medication in good time to ensure you do not run out.
•  If you choose to use a Pharmacy to collect your prescriptions you should confirm with them exactly what medication you require within 7 days of your order being placed.  You should NOT BE ASKED TO CONFIRM THIS INFORMATION ON COLLECTION OF YOUR CURRENT MONTHS MEDICATION as this will not be clear until time of next order being placed - a long period will have passed during which your medications may be changed by your GP or hospital Consultant, you may also be admitted to hopsital during this time and your medications may change on Discharge.  
• Medication for patients travelling abroad will only be issued for a MAXIMUM OF 2 MONTHS at the discretion of the Practice Partners. Repeat medication will then be removed from the patient record and patients MUST attend surgery on their return for a health /medication review review and medication to be re-instated.
• If items are requested before their due date the practice will not issue this medication.
• WE WILL NOT ISSUE MEDICATION FOR PATIENTS CURRENTLY ABROAD
• MEDICATION CANNOT BE SUPPLIED/DISPENSED BY A PHARMACY WITHOUT A SIGNED PRESCRIPTION FORM YOUR DOCTOR- however this may be requested in an emergency over a Bank Holiday period but a short supply should be given only.  This medication will be taken from your normal prescription when the practice provides this to the pharmacy.  We will not issue EXTRA medication.

Prescriptions Charges and Exemptions

Extensive exemption and remission arrangements protect those likely to have difficulty in paying charges (NHS prescription and dental charges, optical and hospital travel costs).

The NHS prescription charge is a flat-rate amount which successive Governments have thought it reasonable to charge for those who can afford to pay for their medicines.  Prescription prepayment certificates (PPCs) offer real savings for people who need extensive medication.

Please allow 48 hours, excluding weekends and Bank Holidays, for your request to be processed. Any problems please telephone the surgery. 

Patients Ordering Repeat Prescriptions

This information is to support patients who may be vulnerable and/ or have additional needs, who will require additional assistance to order their repeat medication, either from the practice or from a pharmacy.  A person who may require assistance is an individual who is at risk of being unable to order or manage their own medication supplies due to life circumstances such as age, mental illness or capacity. Patients who may require additional assistance to manage their medication ordering, either from the practice or from a pharmacy, may be those patients who have or are: 

 Elderly housebound/ socially isolated 

 Palliative care 

 Serious mental health issues 

 Learning disabilities 

 Complex health needs 

If you fit into this criteria please speak to the Receptionist or your local Pharmacist and we will endeavour to help solve and help your situation.

Thank you
