 | Patients on regular medication will require repeat prescriptions and for a safer and speedier service, repeat prescriptions are now computerised. Your doctor will have entered onto the computer what medication you are taking, and each time a new prescription is written by the computer a new request form is also generated for you to make your next request. |
| Repeat prescriptions have to be reviewed regularly and at least once a year by a doctor. When your repeat prescription warns you that you need to see a doctor, please book an appointment well in advance. |
| Allow two working days (48 hours) for your prescription to be processed. Request and collection should be between 8.30 am to 11.30am and 3.00pm to 5.30pm Monday to Friday (not Saturday mornings or Wednesday afternoons). If you have more than one repeat prescription please try and order all your items together. Internet or faxed requests are also accepted. |
| The West Hallam surgery has a dispensary for patients who reside in that area. For these patients the prescription can be prepared and made ready for collection directly from the surgery, allowing 48 hours for the prescription to be processed. |
| Either deliver or post your repeat prescription form to the surgery. If you wish the prescription to be posted to your home address, please enclose a stamped addressed envelope. There is a special box at reception where you can leave your prescription request without the need to queue. In line with most other surgeries, we do not accept prescription requests over the telephone. |
| Please plan your requirements ahead, particularly at holiday times |
