Repeat Prescriptions

Each GP surgery or primary care practice will have its own procedure for repeat prescribing but the following rules are common to most, if not all. Patients who are well-known to the practice who have a stable condition like asthma, hypertension or diabetes could be allowed to get a repeat prescription for up to six months. Repeat prescriptions are never given to patients who are not known to the practice and there is probably a blanket ban on repeats for narcotics and other drugs that could be misused as doctors are expected to monitor these drugs carefully.

***Repeat prescription requests  from our registered patients are received, reviewed by the doctor and then sent to the chemist you specify.  This process requires minimum 24-48 hours for regular prescriptions to be ready at your chemist. 
An urgent prescription can be requested (less than 24 hours notice) during regular business hours.  There will be an additional fee for urgent requests.
