Repeat Prescriptions

We encourage patients to be seen three monthly for conditions requiring regular medication. This is best practice and allows us to safely monitor your health.

In certain circumstances your doctor may agree to provide repeat prescriptions requested by phone. This will follow discussion with you and the agreed policy will be documented in your records. A request is very unlikely to be granted if you have not been seen for the relevant condition within the previous six months.

Your phone call will be put through to a nurse who will check your records and inform you whether your request is considered appropriate. Please do not be offended if you are asked to make an appointment with the doctor.

We ask that you ring the day before you intend to pick the prescription up to allow us time to process your request. Same day urgent, mailed or faxed prescriptions incur an extra charge.

A request for a prescription repeat requires a phone call - emailed requests will not be accepted.
