How to request Repeat Prescriptions.
Requests will only be taken after 12.00pm.
We ask that you only order what you need.
Patients on long-term medication can order repeat prescriptions in the following ways:
- Via our 'Contact us online' link on the home page. Just follow the instructions under admin or routine care request
- NHS App. There are links to how to do this on the News section on the home page - including details of free 'Tech made friendly' courses being held at various sites locally.
- Online: Please call the surgery and ask for your personal code to be generated for connection onto Patient Access where you may also book appointments, view your medical records, results and immunisations etc
- In person: hand your repeat slip in at reception with the items required clearly marked.
- At our Priorslee and Holliwell sites there are post boxes at the side of the main entrance. This is checked once a day Monday to Friday after morning Surgery.
- By post: send it to us with a stamped addressed envelope if you want us to post it back to you.
You must allow a minimum of 48hrs for your prescription to be processed i.e. If you request your script at 9.00am Monday morning it will not be ready for collection until 9.00am Wednesday morning at the earliest. This does not include the pharmacy dispensing time. Remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account.
Medication Review
Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a Doctor, ACP or Practice Nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip. Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.
Private Prescriptions.
There will be a charge for private prescriptions of £15.00 and you may incur pharmacies charges on top of this.
Some travel immunisations are not covered by the NHS and you will be charged both for the prescription and the medication/injection.
Please ask the Nurse for details during your travel immunisation consultation
