Repeat prescriptions are those items that are listed on your medical record that the doctor has authorised may be repeated up to the number of times specified. Thereafter, the repeat prescription items may be re-authorised if appropriate. Items are in any case reviewed at least once per year even if you are under the care of a hospital

Patients can register for Systmonline. Once registered you can book appointments and order prescriptions via the internet and you can also now request access to your detailed coded clinical record.

To do this please ask at reception and bring a form of ID with you so that we can verify your identity. You can download the registration form from our website but must bring this to the surgery with a form of ID as listed on the bottom of the registration form. You will be given a username and password for the online service. Once registered please click on the link below.

ONE-OFF PRESCRIPTION REQUESTS

To order: Call 01430 430318 from 9am. 

One-off prescriptions which are not regularly repeated are known as acute prescriptions.

You can ask your pharmacist for advice on minor ailments - and if appropriate, youy may be able to buy medicines over the counter without having to see a doctor. NHS 111 is available 24/7 to give advice or by telephone on-line.

If you feel it is more appropriate to see a doctor or if the pharmacist recommends a GP appointment, your doctor may prescribe or refer you to another health professional. A prescription is not always appropriate for a patient's needs.

If you are sure that your medical problem is minor, the doctor may issue a prescription following a telephone request to our receptionist. In certain circumstances, the doctor may telephone for more information - or invite you to the surgery for assessment.

If you telephone the surgery  for an acute prescription, our reception staff will need to know:

WHO is the prescription for?

HOW LONG have the symptoms persisted?

ALLERGIES?

MEDICATIONS?

WHO is the prescription for?
