| NEW - ONLINE REPEAT PRESCRIPTION REQUESTING
We are pleased to announce that you may now order
your repeat medication online.
First you must register in person at the surgery where
we will issue you with a username and password.
Please bring photo identification with you for your own
security. Registration is a one off process and applies
to those aged 18 and over. Once registered you will be
able to order your prescriptions online.
Repeat prescriptions take two working days to be
processed so please do not expect to collect them before
this time.

Patients on long-term medication may request repeat prescriptions. We
accept such requests by post, fax, in person or online via SystmOnline; please endeavour to use
your computer-printed slip at all times. Please use the most recent slip
as there may be changes from an older one.
We do not accept requests for repeat prescriptions over the
telephone, as this can lead to mistakes. Please do not write annotations
or comments on your prescription slip.
A prescription 'post box' is available in the reception area to avoid
the need to queue to hand in repeat prescription requests and a box is
available outside when the surgery is closed.
Repeat prescriptions take two working days to be processed so
please do not expect to collect them before this time.
If you enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope we will return your
prescription and re-order slip to you. If you have arranged for a
pharmacy to collect your prescription on your behalf please indicate the
name of the pharmacy on your request form.
Due to continual review of patient medication, taking into account
recommended doses, safety guidelines, changing prices, interaction
between drugs, you may find your usual medication has been changed to an
equivalent alternative - you will always receive a written notification.
If you have any concerns, please speak to your usual GP.
Medication Reviews
From time to time your doctor may wish
to see you to review your condition and your on-going
medication. Your doctor may ask you to have a blood test
or blood pressure check. You may be advised to make an
appointment with the practice nurses in a specialised clinic
rather than a doctor's surgery appointment. |
