repeat prescriptions

how to request a repeat prescription

Repeat prescriptions are only authorised by the doctor if you require medication and you attend for a medication check on a regular basis.

Please give or send your request in writing (with a stamped, addressed envelope if you wish it to be posted) and please allow at least 3 working days before collection. You will receive a computerised tear-off slip with each prescription which you can use for future requests.

Requests are not accepted over the telephone as this may lead to mistakes.

You should see the doctor or nurse on a regular basis in order to check your medication.

If you are a newly registered patient, you will need to see the doctor first for assessment and confirmation of your medication and dosage before your medication can be prescribed.

You can now request repeat prescriptions online via SystmOnline.

Please note when requesting your prescription, if the review date for any of your medications has been reached, you will not be offered the option or order it online. You can make a textual request for the item/s in the ?Comments? box at the bottom of the page, when the doctor will decide whether it can be reissued without an appointment, or whether you need to be seen. Alternatively, you can make an appointment for a medication review with a doctor (or a Practice Nurse for diabetic/asthma medications).
