Once a medicine has been added to your repeat prescriptions list then it is usually printed on the right hand side of the prescription form. The prescription form, which is green in colour, has two halves. The left hand side is given to the pharmacist when you go to the chemist to collect your prescription. You should keep the right hand side safely yourself. This is the repeat prescription form that you will need when requesting repeat medication. If there are any items on this list that you do not use anymore, for example, if a medicine has been stopped by the hospital, then please let us know so we can amend it accordingly.

Repeat Dispensing is a new way for you to get your regular prescription.
If you are on the same medication regularly and use the same pharmacy then under this scheme you can get you repeat prescrptions direct from your pharmacy, rather than getting them from your surgery each time.
If you would like to know more about this scheme then please ask your pharmacist or enquire at the surgery where we will be able to give you more information. |

If you require regular repeat medication then your doctor will once your condition is stable add it to your "repeat prescription". This section describes different methods you may use to obtain your repeat medication.
We are unable to accept telephone requests for repeat prescriptions.
We normally require 2 working days (48 hours) to process the repeat prescription. However, there are occasions when this may be longer. Reasons for this are;
- If you have not used the repeat prescription form to request your repeat medicines
- If your review date is overdue (in which case the doctor may not issue the prescription until you have been seen) or issue a limited quantity of tablets to last until your review appointment. Your medication review date is printed on the bottom of the right hand side of your prescription.
- If your medication has been changed by the hospital doctors and there is a delay in us receiving a letter from them, the delay will be prolonged until we have received written confirmation.
