Batch Prescribing
If you are taking a regular medication we are encouraging the issue of 6-months prescriptions each time they are due. This is intended to make our service easier for you and more efficient. This will be discussed at your medication review. You have the right to nominate the pharmacy you wish to pick up your medication from.
Medication Home delivery service
A full time Medication delivery service has now commenced and if you are
a surgery patient and would like your medication delivering then please
follow the process below:
| Request delivery at the point where your
prescription is requested from the surgery.
|
| Please request medication in advance. Please do
not leave until your medication runs out. |
If you are out at the time of delivery the
prescription will be available for collection
Medication Reviews
If you are receiving repeat medication you will be required to have a medication review every 6-12 months depending on the medication you are on. Review is important, to ensure that medication is working correctly (or is not causing a reaction) and to assess whether other medication is still appropriate for you to continue. When your medication review is due, a reminder will show on your prescription counterfoil. To make an appointment, contact reception or prescription clerk.
Important
If you do not attend a medication review when requested the practice has the right to only produce weekly prescriptions until a medication review has been performed (this is for your safety).
Automated Repeat Prescriptions
If you have had a medication review in the last 3 months you now have
the opportunity to have your medication automatically prepared for
collection/delivery every month for the six months, without having to
request the medication.
Important – this service is only
available for medication taken regularly where 28 days supply is given
and therefore does not include inhalers, eye drops etc. If in doubt
please contact the dispensary.
To access this service either:
• Complete the online prescription request providing all the information
• Contact the dispensary by telephone
• In writing with your medication request
You will have to attend the practice to sign a form agreeing to the
scheme (a copy will be kept on your notes). This will also provide you
with the dates, type of medication and place of collection. From then on
there will be medication ready to collect or deliver on those dates.
The scheme can be renewed after that date provided that a medication
review has been attended (if required).
