Repeat Prescriptions

If the doctor has approved your long-term medication on a repeat prescription basis you can place orders in a number of ways:

  • In person - hand your repeat slip in to reception wirth the required items clearly marked.
  • By post - send it to us with a stamped addressed envelope if you want us to post it back to you.
  • Using our online form 
  • Online - simply follow the link at the top of this page. You will need a username and password to access this service which can be obtained from reception. 

Some local chemists offer a collect & deliver service please contact them directly to ask about this service.

Please allow two full working days for prescriptions to be processed and remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account.

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications, usually during the month of your birthday along with a health check for any long term conditions you have such as diabetes or asthma.

Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.

 

Hospital Requests

When you are discharged from hospital you should normally receive at least 7 days’ supply of medication.

On receipt of your medication requirements, which will be issued to you by the hospital, please bring this to the surgery or post via a stamped addressed envelope before your supply of medication has run out.

Hospital requests for change of medication will be checked by the GP first, and if necessary your Doctor will issue you with a prescription. The Practice will endeavour to issue you with your prescription on that day, but it cannot be issued until your medical details are checked by the doctor, your prescription should normally be ready by 4pm on that day, or you may be advised to attend the next day.

The doctors will review your medication, regularly, which may involve changes to your tablets, in accordance with current health board policies. Please be reassured that this will not affect your treatment.
