What is a Repeat Prescription?

A repeat prescription is a continuous supply of certain medication that you can routinely order for a set period of time without having to see a doctor.

The doctor will arrange for this medication to be available for you to order for a clinically appropriate length of time and you will then require a review.

We review any regular medication on a repeat prescription annually and wherever possible the doctor will do this without you having to attend the surgery.

If you have been advised by the surgery that your medication review is due please complete our form.

How do I order my Repeat Prescription?

You can order your repeat prescription in the following ways:

• Online
• Submit your repeat prescription slip to the surgery

We do not accept requests for prescriptions over the telephone.

Please allow 5 full working days for prescriptions to be processed and remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account.

If you are collecting it from a pharmacy of your choice please allow 5 full working days.

Please be aware that due to complexities surrounding medication and the need to ensure safety prior to prescribing there are times where prescriptions can take longer than this, should you have any concerns then please contact the practice.

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will, from time to time, be asked to see a doctor, Nurse Practitioner or Practice Nurse to review these regular medications
