Repeat Prescriptions Patients on long term medication may, with the doctor's agreement, be able to obtain repeat prescriptions without seeing a doctor. This is done through the repeat prescription forms attached to the prescription. TWO working days must be allowed for the repeat prescription request to be processed, or you may post in your request and provide a stamped addressed envelope for its return. Prescription requests cannot be taken over the phone, so please be careful not to run out of your medications. For some patients where appropriate, it may be possible for your repeat prescription to be held by a pharmacy of your choice if you are on regular medication where conditions treated by that medication are stable eg Blood Pressure tablets. Please ask your GP at your medication review. You can now order repeat prescriptions on-line - though you do need to have registered first. Select the on-line form from the menu - or click here. Hospital / Consultant Prescriptions Medications issued by hospitals will be reviewed by your GP and may be altered depending upon your individual medical requirements and the availability of certain drugs within the Primary Care Trust. |
