If you are over the age of 16, take regular medication and your doctor feels your medicines can be repeated without you being seen each time, you will normally be given a computer repeat prescription slip - a tear-off portion of your prescription - listing your medication.
This repeat slip includes details of each medication available for you to order, the date that it was last ordered, the date you will be due to re-order it and the number of issues/or the number of times you may reorder the medication before you need to see the doctor for a medication review. Please keep this slip safe.
To request a repeat medication, tick the box next to the name of the medication. You will need to order your medication ideally 5 working days before you run out, remember to take Public Holidays in to account.
You can either request your repeat online (see link above) or you can post the white slip in our letterbox at our surgeries at Padstow or St Columb Major.
Or alternatively, if you have lost your slip, you can write the following details on a piece of paper:
Name:
Address:
Date of Birth:
NHS No (if you have it)
Repeat medication needed: include medication dosage, number of tablets required.
Date requesting.
If the doctor has indicated that you need to be seen prior to your next prescription it is because you require medical checks in order to assess that the medication that you are on is still correct. In this case please make an appointment to see a doctor two weeks before your medication is due.
Please give 5 working days notice when requesting repeat prescriptions.
