HOW
DO I....
Request A Repeat Prescription?
If your doctor agrees, you may be
able to request a repeat prescription without seeing the doctor if you are on
regular medication.
Please note the methods for obtaining
repeat prescriptions for the surgery you attend.
Do not leave it until the last tablet
before ordering your repeat prescription. If you are going to be away on holiday
when your prescription is due for renewal, then please tell the receptionist in
plenty of time, so that she can arrange for extra medication to be issued to cover
your holiday. In some cases a repeat prescription will not be issued. Please do
not blame the receptionist, as she is only following the instructions of the doctor.
In these circumstances you will need to see the doctor before you receive your
prescription. The doctor needs to see you from time to time to review your medication,
for your own safety.
In the interests of safe prescribing all requests for repeat prescriptions are to be made by handing in the right-hand side of your prescription to the receptionist (tick the items that you require). We will require 48 hours’ notice in which to deal with your request. If you prefer, you may wish to post your request, but please allow a few days for your letter to reach us. If you leave a stamped addressed envelope we will be happy to post your prescription to you. You may also FAX your request on 01706 242127 or obtain your repeat prescription via this website (ring the practice for details of how to register for this).
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE WILL NOT ACCEPT
REQUESTS FOR REPEAT PRESCRIPTIONS VIA THE TELEPHONE. |
