Prescriptions
Ways you can order your medication:
- Use our prescription room to request medication.
- Hand in your Repeat Prescription Slip at Reception (ticking only the items you require).
- Your nominated pharmacy can re-order your medication if you give them permission and leave your repeat slip. Please note this method may take longer for your prescription request to reach us for processing.
This process will be even longer if you have not signed up to the Electronic Prescribing System – please speak to your local pharmacy of choice to arrange this.
If you do not want to use the online repeat process you can use the printed re-order form attached to the prescription. Please tick only the items required and return the form to us.
We do not accept medication requests over the telephone.
Repeat prescriptions are checked by your doctor before being issued. On certain occasions the doctor may decide it is more appropriate to see you for an appointment rather than issuing further medicines. This decision is made by the doctor and not by the dispensary staff. Requests for repeat prescriptions can also be faxed to the surgery on 01353 645656.
Unused Medication
- Wasted medicines = lost NHS money.
- Please only order as needed.
- Once medication has left pharmacy, it cannot be re-used (even if it is unopened).
- Any unused medication should go back to the pharmacist who will safely dispose of it.
