HOW
DO I....
OBTAIN
A REPEAT PRESCRIPTION?
• Prescription
requests are not taken over the telephone.
• For those on regular
medication, computerised prescription slips are used; these are in use at
all three surgeries.
• Repeat prescriptions – YOUR
SLIP MUST BE LEFT IN THE SURGERY AT LEAST TWO WORKING DAYS BEFORE THE PRESCRIPTION
IS COLLECTED.
• The pharmacies all operate a very convenient
collection system for repeat prescriptions - please ask your Chemist.
•
If you require an item that is not on your repeat list you must see a doctor.
Dispensing
For patients living in a rural area and using Bodedern and Valley surgeries we offer a dispensing service of the most commonly used medications. Medication can be obtained by using your repeat prescription/a letter (but not telephone requests) within normal surgery opening hours.
However, in cases of emergency we will always endeavour to accommodate a patient in need.
Outside normal surgery hours please contact NHS Direct (0845 8501362) for details of your nearest pharmacy.
