Repeat Prescriptions

green pillsYou may need to take medicines regularly for your health. When your health is stable, the doctor may advise that you can have a prescription on a repeat basis without the need to be seen in clinic every month.

Only medicines agreed by the doctor can be given by repeat prescription. In order to provide a safe and efficient repeat prescription system we use a computer that records which medicines are authorised for each patient and each time they are prescribed.

All medicines given on repeat prescription need to be reviewed to check that you still need to take them. This will usually take place when you have a review of your health. Please be prepared to come to the surgery for a review of repeat prescriptions at the doctor’s request.

  • multicolour_pillsIn person - hand your repeat slip in to reception having clearly marked the items required.
  • By post - send it to us with a stamped addressed envelope if you want us to post it back to you.

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.
