HOW
DO I....
OBTAIN
A REPEAT PRESCRIPTION ?
Patients on regular
medication will be given a form to use to order repeat prescriptions. Please
only re-order the items that you actually need. The required items should be
ticked off and the sheet placed in the box in the foyer, or posted to the surgery.
Please allow 72 working hours for your prescription to be ready. A
review of your medication will be conducted regularly. Requests for repeat
prescriptions are not accepted over the telephone. Repeat prescriptions
will only be issued in conjunction with the repeat requests. Most pharmacies
in the area now collect prescriptions from us on a daily basis. This means you
can collect your prescription directly from the pharmacy without an extra return
trip to the surgery. Please nominate your chosen pharmacy clearly on your repeat
prescription form.
SICK
