Repeat Prescriptions

Each GP surgery or primary care practice will have its own procedure for repeat prescribing but the following rules are common to most, if not all. Patients who are well-known to the practice who have a stable condition like asthma, hypertension or diabetes could be allowed to get a repeat prescription for up to six months. Repeat prescriptions are never given to patients who are not known to the practice and there is probably a blanket ban on repeats for narcotics and other drugs that could be misused as doctors are expected to monitor these drugs carefully.

Repeat prescriptions are issued to some patients on a telephone request. These patients must have stable medical conditions. All other patients must see a doctor to get a prescription. You must allow 48 hours from the lodging of your request until pick up.

We encourage you to request your regular medications through the patient portal.
