Ordering a repeat prescription

How to request your prescriptions

• Online 
• Via your chosen Pharmacy
• Drop in your repeat request slip or complete the prescription request form at reception then post it via our letterbox at the practice.

Our aim is to action prescription requests and have them to your chosen pharmacy within 3-5 working days.

Each pharmacy dispensing time frame is different, they may need extra time to prepare this, please check with your pharmacy when they expect this to be ready for you. Contact your local pharmacy.

If you have any problems with your prescription, please call reception and we will be happy to investigate this for you.

Ordering HRT / Antidepressants / Contraception pill

Each time you require an HRT / antidepressant / contraception medication, you are required to complete the below review forms. This is to keep you safe and make sure this remains the right medication for you.

Please fully complete the appropriate form with your most updated information, the HRT & Contraception forms will ask for an updated BP reading, if you do not have a BP machine at home, we have a POD machine at the surgery you can drop in and use anytime.

Serial prescriptions

If you are on long-term regular medicines you can now have a long-term prescription issued which lasts for up to a year at a time. This is known as a serial prescription.

What this means to you:

• You will no longer need to order your regular medicines from the GP practice.
• The prescription that has been sent to your regular pharmacy lasts for 48 weeks.
• Your pharmacy will hold the prescription and issue you with a supply every 8 weeks.
• Each time you collect your prescription your pharmacy will tell you when your next supply will be ready for you. 

If you have any medicines which are used on an occasional basis such as inhalers, or medicines which are not on your repeat list, you should speak to the pharmacist when picking up your medication.

If you are called in to have aspects of your treatment reviewed such as annual diabetic reviews or blood tests, you should make an appointment to attend for these as usual.

If you have any queries about this change, please contact the practice or your community pharmacist.
