HOW DO I....
OBTAIN A REPEAT PRESCRIPTION?
Some patients are
authorised to have repeat prescriptions. Please hand in your computerised slip
or post it to the surgery along with a stamped addressed envelope if you wish
your prescription returned to you. You must allow two clear working days in order
for us to process your request. We will also accept repeat prescriptions by fax
sent to (01767) 681600 or e-mail sent to dispensary.sandy@nhs.net.
Telephone requests are not accepted. Please note the fax is not attended
by surgery staff between 6.00pm and 8.00am. Therefore we advise you to fax requests
through during opening hours to maintain strict confidentiality.
If you run out of medicine by mistake, speak to the dispenser who will, in turn, speak to your doctor. There is no need to make an appointment.
Dispensing
The dispensary is responsible for all requests for repeat medication. The practice must have 48 hours' notice in order to process all repeat prescription requests.
Rural Patients
Dispensing of prescriptions is available for patients who reside in some of the surrounding villages. A list of such villages is available at reception/dispensary. If you have a disability or find it very difficult to get to a chemist for health-related reasons let us know as you can apply to be a dispensing patient. Please ask the dispenser for further details.
