The Castle Practice: Repeat Prescriptions

Repeat Prescriptions

Repeat prescriptions are issued using a computer and a repeat request form is attached to each prescription with details of your medication and the approximate date for your doctor to review. Until the review date, tick the items required when you need a further supply. Either hand this in at reception or post it to the surgery enclosing a stamped addressed envelope if you wish it returned by post. You can also e-mail your request to prescriptions@gp-j83014.nhs.uk.

When your review date is reached, your Doctor will review your medication. You may be asked to make an appointment.

If you are on medication regularly, please ask your doctor whether this should be prescribed as a computerised repeat prescription. Although repeat prescriptions are usually completed before, please allow 48 hours.

Prescription requests cannot be accepted by phone. It would be helpful if you have lost or do not have a repeat prescription for to please write down:

your doctors name,
your own name and address,
name and strength of your medication,
and how often you take the item you wish repeated.
