Please allow 48 working hours for a repeat prescription to be issued by the Practice.

Please note that the repeat prescription line is only for repeat medication requests.  Do not leave requests for anything else on this dedicated line as we are unable to guarantee an appropriate response and we accept no liability for non-prescription messages.

Orders may be placed at any time day or night on this dedicated line 028 92 626451, as this is an answering machine please follow the instructions, speak clearly and give the tablet name and strength.  Please include the name of your nominated Pharmacy.

Please note that prescriptions will only be issued for medication previously prescribed and authorised as a repeat by a Doctor.  Repeats are not normally authorised for antibiotics and contraception.

For your convenience we would encourage you to nominate a local community Pharmacy to collect your prescriptions from the Practice.  If you have not already choosen a nominated Pharmacy, please do so by completing the form below and returning it to the Practice as soon as possible.

Collection of Repeat Prescriptions

If you have questions about your medicine, your local pharmacists can answer these. They can also answer questions on medicines you can buy without a prescription.

The NHS website has information on how your medicine works, how and when to take it, possible side effects and answers to your common questions.

• Go to Medicines A to Z (nhs.uk)

If you have a query regarding your medication please phone into reception where staff will forward a message on to one of the GP's or our Practice Pharmacist.

If you have a repeat prescription, we may ask you to come in for a regular review or attend for monitoring such as blood tests. We will be in touch when you need to come in for a review.

Take it to a Community Pharmacy who can dispose of it safely.  Do not put it in your household bin or flush it down the toilet.

As qualified healthcare professionals, pharmacists can offer advice on minor illnesses such as:

• coughs

They can also advise on medicine that you can buy without a prescription.

• Find a pharmacy

Many pharmacies are open until late and at weekends. You do not need an appointment.
