Prescribing policy

• The practice has a strict repeat prescribing policy, to prevent prescribing errors, and to ensure regular monitoring.
• We will require 48 to 72 hours to process your prescription.
• Please do not request your repeat prescription more than a week before your last prescription runs out.
• Your prescription will go to one of the surgery pharmacists. It is possible that you will be asked to talk to your GP before a repeat prescription is agreed.
• Please note that we do not prescribe over the counter medication. They are available to buy in your local pharmacy or supermarket.
• If you currently request your prescription on paper, please would you consider switching to the online service via the Practice website. It’s very easy to do and will save you time as you will not have to come to the Surgery. When you request on-line, the requests will go from you direct to the doctor.  This is more efficient than going via administrative staff and, compared with paper requests, greatly reduces the chance of prescriptions being misread, delayed or mislaid. It also means that you can submit the request from home, or from anywhere, without having to visit the surgery.
