Prescriptions

For your repeat prescription order will be issued with a slip of paper attached to your prescription.  This should be returned to the surgery when you need further medication after ticking the items you require.  If there are items on your repeat prescription you no longer take please inform the receptionist and these will be removed.

Repeat prescriptions are either to be posted (with SAE) for return or brought to the reception desk before 11.00am to be collected after 3.30pm 48 hours later.

The practice is constantly monitoring and reviewing all prescribed medication in line with current guidelines   Patients may find they are being prescribed medication by brand/trade names.  The practice is changing these medications to medical/generic names, these are exactly the same medications, but may be in different packaging.  This change of medication is inline with local Health Board Guidelines.

For Acute Medication that you have received before but is not on your repeat prescription you will be asked to complete an Medication Request Form out on reception desk. If your request for a acute medication is declined it will be for your own medical safety. Medication for a new illness is likely to be refused until you are assessed by a clinician. 

Prescriptions take 48hrs to process, if you need your prescriptions sooner  and have exceptional circumstances  please let reception know and it will be taken into account. If you have difficulty coming to the surgery, your local pharmacy, with your consent, will order your repeat prescription request  and pick up your prescription.  You can then collect your prescription from your chosen pharmacy, or set up with them a delivery service.

You may also order your repeat medication on line via the NHS Wales App.
