Prescriptions can now be ordered online, via the link on the surgery website, but patients need to come into the surgery to be given access codes before ordering prescriptions for the first time – please bring ID with you (eg passport, birth certificate etc).
Repeat prescription requests should only be for drugs you receive regularly.
REPEAT PRESCRIPTION REQUESTS:
We cannot process your prescriptions until 7 days before it is due, unless required for holidays in which case please state the dates and duration of your holiday on the prescription request. When you request a repeat prescription, you need to allow 3-4 working day to enable us to authorise and get it to the chemist. Urgent requests must be triaged by the on-call GP and may not be available for the same day so please check your requirements and allow plenty of time.
We DO NOT accept telephone requests for repeat prescription, you can order using the prescription form from your last request or a written request in our post box at the surgery or you can register to order your prescriptions online, after an initial visit with a application form and proof of ID you will be given a user name and password so that you can log in at home and place your request. You can also bring or send your computer repeat request slip to the surgery or take it to the local chemist who will bring it to the surgery on your behalf.
You can click here to order repeat prescriptions online with SystmOne, our IT provider.
