Repeat Prescriptions
Prescription
Charges
Prepayments
Repeat prescriptions are for preparations authorized
by your Doctor for you to receive on a repeated basis for a fixed
period without you having to see your Doctor. You must still be seen at least
annually to continue receiving them. Authorized drugs are listed on the right
hand side of the computer printout given to you with each repeat prescription
issued. Only these items can be issued as repeats. If there are medications you
take regularly that are not on the list please ask your Doctor if they may be
added.
To request a repeat tick the boxes on the request form for the preparations you
need. If you tick nothing you will receive none! But please only request those
that you need to avoid waste. You may arrange to obtain your prescription in
these ways:
- Simply send or hand in your request form
and it should be available for you to collect in 2 working days.
- Provide a stamped-addressed envelope and we
will post it back to you.
- Mark in the space provided which chemist
you wish to use and the prescription will be collected by the chemist, and
made up ready for you to collect. For this please allow at least 3
working days.
- Register with EMIS Access and
order repeats online
Please remember that when you ask for your prescription to go to the chemist
the prescription is left at reception for your chemist to collect on your
behalf. Although we will will help as much as possible, we cannot accept any
responsibility if the prescription goes astray after it has been collected from
us by you or any other person acting on your behalf.
Please also note that if you request any
alterations to your prescription it will substantially delay it's return as it
may have to receive additional attention from your Doctor and cannot be processed
in the usual way.
