Please
note that we have tried to make this repeat prescription request
service as secure as possible but cannot guarantee 100% security.
As always on the internet, you should not send any information
you would rather others did not see.
In
order to make this form even more secure, we can no longer
take your name, but instead require your prescriber number
and date of birth. This number can also be found on the top
right of the white tearoff section of your prescription. Please
contact the surgery if you are unsure of your prescriber number.
This is simply as a precaution to ensure that prescriptions
can only be requested by the individual concerned.
Your
prescriber number should remain private. Please do not tell
others your individual number.

be issued.

Only medication which appears on computer as a repeat
medicine can be issued by a receptionist.
-
You need to know the names of repeat medication when
telephoning or visiting the surgery.
-
Where there is doubt about a request for medication
a doctor will need to resolve the problem. This takes
extra time.

Repeat prescriptions will be issued for 28 days. All
repeat prescriptions are reviewed after 12 months.
You may be asked to see a doctor or nurse before your
medication is re-authorised.

If medication is changed (e.g.) following hospital
admission, we will need to confirm this change and
a doctor will need to authorise this on computer.
To enable this to be problem-free bring all bottles
and packets with you.
