Some people on regular medication may be able to get further supplies without seeing the doctor. If the doctor has said you can do this there are a number of ways to place an order:
We no longer accept telephone requests for repeat prescriptions.
Please allow two full working days for prescriptions to be processed by the practice and remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account.
If you asked the for prescription to be sent to a local chemist you need to allow additional time for them to process the request. Please check with the dispensing chemist.
The GPs review the records of patients on regular medication on an annual basis - though this may be more often for some medication. If one of your regular medication seems to have disappeared from your list when ordering using the online services then this is probably because the GPs need to review and re-authorise it. Please call and discuss with the reception team who may arrange a telephone review appointment for you.
For patients with long term conditions requiring monitoring, we arrange an annual face-to-face appointment, usually around your birthday month. You should receive a letter about this as a prompt to book an appointment, which is often with the nursing team in the first instance.
Please also check the repeat prescription slip that you get back from the pharmacist with your medication, as we may have added a message to this about the need for a review.
