HOW DO I....
Obtain A Repeat Prescription?
All repeat prescription requests should be made in writing (including
full details of patient and medication) using the computer-generated list. Requests
for repeat prescriptions cannot be taken by telephone. Repeat prescriptions usually
take 48 hours (two working days) to process from the time that we receive the
request. The prescription cycle is normally 56 days. We advise you to take the
repeat prescription slip with you when you go to hospital, either as an inpatient
or as an outpatient so that the information is available to the hospital doctors.
Some local chemists can arrange prescriptions for housebound patients or patients
who have problems getting to the surgery.
Do You Pay For Your Prescriptions?
You may find it more cost effective to purchase
a 'season ticket' (pre-payment certificate). If you need more than five items
during four months or more than 14 prescribed items during the year, you will
save money by buying one. Application forms are available at the reception.
THIS FORM BELOW IS CURRENTLY DISABLED - PLEASE USE ONE OF THE ALTERNATIVE METHODS MENTIONED ABOVE TO REQUEST PRESCRIPTIONS.
