Obtain Prescriptions
If you require repeat medication, your
doctor will have given you a set number of prescriptions that you
can request for that medication. These will be printed on the
right hand side of your prescription. It is important that you
keep this tear off slip.
Before
you run out of medication, please either bring the slip into us,
ticking the items you require, or if you do not have the slip,
please write the medication you need on a piece of paper along
with your name, address and date of birth and drop it into the box
in the surgery. The prescriptions box can be found inside the
entrance to the surgery.
You can also fax us your prescription on
01803 526702, or use our online repeat request feature by
clicking here.
As
stated above, repeat prescriptions have a certain amount of issues
which we can give before the doctor has to re-authorise your
prescriptions. This is a safeguard to yourselves. When the doctor
comes to re-authorise your prescriptions he/she may ask you to
come into the surgery for a review to make sure that you are
taking the right medication for your condition, or indeed, whether
you can stop taking the medication.
