I need to request medication
I have a question about my medication
I am a visitor
Please contact your Practice back at home – they have access to your health record and are best placed to help you for safety reasons.
Your home Practice should be able to send your prescription electronically, to a pharmacy local to where you are staying.
Managing my Medication
Please ensure you make requests for prescriptions a few days before your medication runs out.
Please note all prescriptions require 7 working days before collection.
Any requests for additional items, which are not on repeat, have to be authorised by the doctor. In order to eliminate mistakes prescriptions may not be requested over the telephone but can be made via online services or email.
Save Time Collecting Prescriptions
Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) sends your prescription electronically direct to your preferred pharmacy. Complete this form to let us know which Pharmacy you would like us to send your prescription to.
Have Your medication Synchronised So It Is All Due At The Same Time
I regularly forget to request my medication, or I leave it to the last minute
Let the Receptionist/Prescription Clerk know you would like to have your medication managed by the Practice (batched). The Practice Pharmacist/or a GP will then see if we can pre-authorise some, or all of your medication, for up to a year – you then only need to go to your preferred pharmacy to collect it as instructed.
