Prescriptions

PLEASE NOTE - The practice does not hold or dispose of controlled drugs. Patients are asked to return unwanted medication to their local pharmacy.

Repeat Prescriptions

Please note: ‘Repeat Prescriptions’ refers to medication which your Dr has agreed can be requested on a repeat basis without a need to see or speak to a Dr each time.

Your prescription will be reviewed on a regular basis – the medication review date will appear on your re-order form.

You may re-order your repeat prescription in the following ways:

• On-line

• In person by completing a written request at reception

• By post

• Remember, we need 48 working hours to process your request.

• Please note if your medication review date is not up to date – you will be asked to attend for a review.

• Please provide full and complete details on your request to help us identify the drugs you are requesting accurately. Please use the re-order form on the right hand side of your prescription where possible.

Please remember during public holidays to order well in advance.

Collecting your prescriptions

• We can send your prescriptions to a pharmacy of your choice for you to collect directly. Superdrug Sidney Street and Boots Petty Cury will collect the prescription from the surgery but if you have an alternative pharmacy you wish to collect from then please discuss your needs with reception.

• Collecting prescriptions from reception -please avoid busy times of the day especially between 08.30 and 10.00

• Please note that we cannot post your prescription unless you supply us with a stamped addressed envelope.
