There are many options available to order your repeat prescription:
- order your repeat prescription online via Patient Access
- you can tick the appropriate medication on your computerised slip to hand it in at reception or
- send it to the practice via post (please provide a self addressed envelope) or
- e-mail us at portersavenuedoctors@nhs.net & childandfamilydoctors@nhs.net (please provide your full name, address, date of birth and a list of your repeat medications).
To avoid any errors we do not take any repeat prescription requests via the telephone.
Please ensure you allow two full working days for us to prepare your prescription. You may be required to attend a medication review before your repeat can be issued.
If you wish to collect your repeat prescription from a local pharmacy please indicate which pharmacy. You will need to allow up to 72 hours before you can collect your medication from the pharmacy. Some local pharmacies provide a free delivery service to those who need it.
Electronic Prescribing (EPS)
If you wish you could sign up for electronic prescribing. Please speak to reception or local pharmacy for more detail.
Repeat Dispensing Scheme
If you are on regular medication your doctor can issue several prescriptions in advance to be held and distributed when you need them by your chosen pharmacy. This saves the patient time and inconvenience when ordering and collecting their prescription.
