All
prescriptions are recorded on the
practice computer. Patients on
long term medication will need
regular prescriptions. For long
term prescriptions we can issue a
'repeat slip' which lists
repeatable items. If you tick the
box opposite the item you need
and send the slip to us or one of
the towns chemists, you will get
a new supply. The slip has an
expiry date. Near to this date
you must see your doctor so that
the need to continue the drug can
be assessed and also any
necessary tests or investigations
can be organised to ensure your
continuing good health. If the
computer indicates that you may
be using more medication than
prescribed, our secretary will
send you a message to that
effect.
- Allow two working days
for your prescription to be
processed.
- If you have more than one
item on repeat please try to
order all your items together.
- Both the local chemists
collect signed prescriptions from
the Medical Centre daily. When
more medication is needed they
will also bring in your request
slip if you drop it in to them.
The computer generates a
prescription which is checked and
signed by a doctor. The signed
prescription can be sent to one
of the local chemists who will
dispense your medication, or you
can collect the prescription from
the Medical Centre and take it to
another chemist to be dispensed.
Please let us know which method
you prefer.
-
If you require any
medication not listed on your
repeat slip you should make on
appointment to see the
doctor.
- At holiday times you may need
medication earlier than normal. A
note saying this will save us
bothering you.
