How Do I Obtain Repeat Prescriptions

HOW DO I...
OBTAIN REPEAT PRESCRIPTIONS?

In order to provide a better service to patients, we operate a repeat prescription service. If you need to take medication regularly your doctor may agree to authorise a “repeat prescription”. This will enable you to obtain medication without having to see a doctor every time.

In order to avoid waste, unnecessary expense and to ensure you get the most benefit from your medication, there are protocols to be followed, both by us and by you.

• Except in special circumstances your doctor will authorise no more than a 1-2 months’ supply of any drug and will review your treatment regime at appropriate intervals.

• Please ensure you make an appointment to see your doctor (or nurse, if appropriate) when the message to do so appears on the tear-off slip of your repeat prescription.

• To safeguard all involved, prescriptions cannot be collected by minors.

You may request re-supply of your authorised repeat medication by:

• Ticking the appropriate entry on the tear-off slip listing your medication and handing the slip in to reception. This is our preferred and safest method.

• Faxing the request through on 0118 969 9103.

Whichever method you use, please remember that it usually takes two working days to get your prescription re-issued, printed, verified and signed, so do not wait until you have run out of medication before requesting a new prescription.

If you want the prescription sent to you, please provide a stamped and addressed envelope and allow for the extra delay.
