If you are on long-term medication your doctor will give you your first prescription and it will have two parts:
- The GREEN SIDE is the actual prescription, which you give to the chemist.
- The WHITE SIDE will contain a list of medication that can be issued as a repeat.
This allows you to re-order repeat medication without seeing the doctor every time, though you will be requested to attend regular medication reviews with in house pharmacist to ensure that all is well with your medication. You maybe invited for this via our new text messaging service.
When you need more medication, please mark ONLY those items that you need, by ticking next to each item on the white side. Please do not tick items that you do not need. You should then take or send your white slip to the surgery.
You can also order repeat prescriptions:
- sending in an SAE,
- coming into the surgery,
- through your local pharmacy
- registering on our website to order repeat prescriptions
- online via the link at the top of this page
- WE DO NOT TAKE REQUESTS OVER THE PHONE
Please allow 48 working hours, excluding weekends and Bank Holidays, before collection. Make sure that you order your repeat prescription in good time, so that you do not run out and please do not stock pile medication.
For those who find it difficult to get to the surgery we are happy to work with the local pharmacists who operate a collection and delivery service.
