Prescriptions
If you take regular medication and your doctor thinks it appropriate he or she may authorise you to obtain a repeat prescription via our computerised system without seeing the doctor every time. You will however be requested to attend at regular intervals to have your condition and treatment reviewed.
For minor and stable conditions, this can be done by speaking to the duty doctor.
Unfortunately for reasons of medical safety we cannot accept a request by telephone.
You should use the repeat slip to request your next prescription. You may leave this at reception, post it, including a stamped addressed envelope for return
It will take up to 48 hours to process your request so please ensure you request your repeat medication in plenty of time before you run out of medication.
Please note that other requests for repeat medication that have not been previously authorised by a doctor, may be refused, without attending a further consultation, (e.g. written requests or unauthorised additions to the computerised slip). Again this is for medical safety.
