How Do I....
Obtain A Repeat Prescription?
Repeat prescriptions may be ordered by posting them to the surgery, bringing them in to the
surgery and using the surgery’s post box or by using your television if you have Telewest, Sky digital
or ntl or any other internet connection. To access this service patients must register with the
practice initially to receive their passwords.
The prescription must be collected - please allow two full working days. If the
collector is not the patient, pharmacy or a parent then we will require written authorisation. If any items
are not needed again please tell us. The doctor may wish to discuss this with you. However, if you think
you may be experiencing side-effects then you must discuss this with the practice nurse or the doctor.
The only items that will be re-prescribed automatically on request are those items on your re-order
slip. If it says that you need to see a doctor on the re-order slip then please make an appointment with
the doctor (in the case of blood pressure, cholesterol or diabetic medication where your condition is
stable then a nurse's appointment is usually sufficient and she can arrange the necessary checks). If your
item is not on repeat but you have had it before as a repeat or a one off prescription we will have to
ask the doctor's advice or permission. If you have never had the item before from us you
will have to see the doctor.
We do offer repeat dispensing for up to 12 months on suitable patients whose medication is
regular and doesn’t include controlled drugs, warfarin etc. Please ask at reception for details.
How Do I....
Obtain A Sick Note?
Please remember to ask the doctor for a sick note if one is required. If your sick note won’t last
until your next appointment or if you are attending a hospital clinic then we may be able to issue a pink
sick note (med5) without a consultation. As with repeat prescriptions please allow 48 hours before your
note is collected.
