Repeat Prescriptions
Patients on long term medication may obtain
repeat prescriptions on request without seeing the doctor.
Your medication details are held on computer, thus enabling
us to supply the prescription accurately. These guidelines
should be strictly observed:
- Please do not to leave your request
until the last minute, i.e. when you are down to your
last pill, or even none at all.
- Please allow two full working days
between submission of your request and its availability
for collection.
- You are responsible for your
medication and you should take and/or finish the course
as it has been prescribed. Please ask for advice if you
are concerned that you may be experiencing side effects
from your medication.
- From time to time you will be asked
to make an appointment for a review of your medication;
this can be dealt with by our Nurse Practitioner. If you
let the receptionist know that you require a medication
review she will make the appropriate appointment for
you.
