NEW COMPUTERISED SYSTEM

From the end of October 2023 we will be moving to a new computerised system.  Your process may take a little longer at the beginning.  We're sorry for any delays as we start using our new system and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

GP APPOINTMENTS

TO HELP REDUCE THE POTENTIAL SPREAD OF INFECTION, WE ARE OPERATING A TELEPHONE TRIAGE APPOINTMENT SYSTEM. IF YOU REQUIRE MEDICAL ADVICE WE ARE ADVISING  PATIENTS TO PHONE AT 8.30AM.  You will be put through to one of our receptionists.  Please give a brief summary of the reason why you are contacting the surgery.  We will then decide on the most appropriate person and best method to contact you.

IF YOU NEED A REPEAT PRESCRIPTION, PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE ON OUR SCRIPT LINE ALONG WITH THE NAME OF THE CHEMIST YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR PRESCRIPTION TO BE SENT TO.  PLEASE ALLOW 48 HOURS FOR REPEAT SCRIPTS.

 

 

Repeat Prescriptions

We now offer an on-line repeat order service.  Forms for registering for this service are available at reception.  You can then order your medication from your computer or smart phone.

The practice operates a 24-hour repeat prescription service. This service is for medications which have been authorised by the doctors to be taken on a regular basis.


ALL repeat prescriptions must be ordered by the patients themselves or their family member/carer.  If you want to your prescription delivered to a chemist please remember to tell the receptionist when ordering.

Repeat prescriptions will be ready for collection 2 working days after ordering (i.e. ordered Monday -ready after 17.00 Wednesday)

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip.

Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.

Acute prescription

On occasions your condition may not require a consultation with a doctor, but you may wish to have a prescription. You should discuss this with the receptionist who will ask for further details about your condition. These will then be passed to the doctor who may then issue an acute prescription or advice.

Requests made before 12 noon will be ready for collection after 1.30pm.

Prescriptions ordered after 12 noon will be ready after 4.30pm.

Urgent prescriptions ordered after 4.30pm will be ready by 5.30pm.
