REPEAT PRESCRIPTIONS

Patients on long term medication can order prescriptions in a number of ways:

By Hand - drop your repeat prescription request sheet (which you'll find attached to your prescription) in at reception.
By Post - send it in to us with a stamped addressed envelope if you want us to post it back to you.
Online - email it to us at G82180.surgery@nhs.net or register for online patient access, (in order to sign up to this, you will need to contact the reception team for an access code).

Please allow 72 hours between requesting and collecting your prescription.

Prescription requests cannot be accepted over the telephone.

Medication reviews - patients on repeat medication will be asked to have a review with either a doctor, pharmacist, nurse practitioner or practice nurse in a face to face appointment or over the telephone at least once a year to ensure its ongoing safety and efficacy. The surgery will advise you of the most appropriate clinician to conduct this review, depending on the type and number of medications you take.

Prescription requests may be refused if you have not responded to our requests for a medication review or other tests/investigations that are needed to ensure their ongoing safety and efficacy.

ELECTRONIC PRESCRIPTION SERVICE (EPS)

Instead of collecting your prescription from the surgery, you can nominate a pharmacy.

REPEAT DISPENSING

For patients on stable repeat prescriptions, a "batch" of prescriptions, (usually 6 month's worth), can be issued to a nominated chemist. This reduces the administration required every month in requesting and producing repeat prescriptions.
