Repeat Prescriptions
Patients who receive items on a repeat prescription MUST order them directly from us and not from their chemist, accept in exceptional circumstances which must by authorised by the GP.
All repeat prescriptions will automatically go to your nominated chemist. For any urgent on-the-day prescriptions the GP may organise collection at the Practice.
You are able to order your repeat prescriptions via our 24 hour repeat prescribing line 028 9250 1289 or online via Patient Access to which you will need special codes - please speak to a member of our Reception team for details.
Repeat prescriptions will be ready from your allocated chemist 3 clear working days from when you order.
Hospital letters, which require us to issue you with medication, are treated in the same manner as repeat prescriptions and we need the same length of time to prepare them.
