Please note the following:
- Your prescription will be available for you to pick up in 48 hours (two working days, excluding bank holidays and weekends).
- If a hospital consultant has requested a non-urgent prescription it will take two working days to process.
- Due to the potential for error we cannot take repeat prescription requests over the telephone.
- If you are going on holiday and will require additional supplies of your repeat medication that you should request these at least five working days prior to your expected date of departure.
Repeat Dispensing
If you are taking certain medications on a regular basis you may be eligible for inclusion in the repeat dispensing system which allows prescriptions to be automatically dispensed each month at a chosen pharmacy. If this service is of interest to you please ask your pharmacist for additional information & about the Pharmacy nomination Process. You can also request a signup form from our reception staff.
Electronic Prescribing
This is planned to be available from 10/11/2011. For more information please click on the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) tab.
