Repeat Prescriptions are given at the discretion of the GP or Nurse Practitioner. These require 2 working days before they are ready to be picked up from the pharmacy.
While it is convenient for patients to phone for repeat prescriptions, we need to follow careful guidelines for safety and medico-legal reasons.
You will need to be seen by your GP/NP at regular intervals, and you will need to have a conversation with your GP/NP about how often he or she needs to see you, whether it is monthly, 3 monthly, twice a year or annually.
When you request a script, please give:
Your name
Your Date of Birth (IMPORTANT – this ensures we have the correct patient, as we have patients with the same name)
