Prescriptions
Manage My Health is the preferred method to use when requesting repeat medications. E-mailed requests are not accepted.
Prescriptions which need to be renewed can sometimes be issued without the need for an appointment, but we need to follow careful guidelines, for safety and legal reasons. All conditions which require long-term medication require regular review to make sure the treatment remains appropriate and safe. The frequency of the review depends on the nature and severity of the condition being treated.
We will not give prescriptions for new medicines without seeing you except in extreme circumstances. For regular medications we may require that you have your blood pressure checked if appropriate or if you have not been seen for some time we will require you to come in and have a consultation. If the nurse advises you that an appointment is necessary in order to get a repeat prescription, she is following clearly set out protocols designed to ensure the safe and responsible administration of drugs. She is not just trying to create business or make your life difficult!
Manage My Health is the preferred method to use when requesting a repeat of your medication. All repeat prescriptions need to be checked against the patient notes by the doctor signing the prescription. This is a process which can't be rushed, or mistakes can be made. For this reason, repeat prescriptions are normally ready for collection the day after they are requested. You will receive a text message when your prescription has been e-mailed to your pharmacy.
Prescriptions are e-mailed to your pharmacy of choice.
