Repeat Prescriptions

Repeat prescriptions can be ordered from the surgery by:

Please allow 4 full working days for your prescription to be processed – remember to take weekends and Bank Holidays in to account.

If you are not a dispensing patient your prescription will be sent directly to your nominated chemist via electronic prescriptions. If you would like your prescription to stay at the surgery please inform the dispensary.

You can also find out if you are entitled to free prescriptions.

Dispensing

Due to dispensing restrictions regrettably we can only dispense to patients who live 1 mile from the nearest chemist. For the convenience of patients who live in rural locations we deliver to the following sites:

  • Tuesday: The Spar Shop – Kingswood
    The Village Shop – Hawkesbury Upton
  • Wednesday: The Village Shop – Cromhall
    The Buthay – Wickwar
    Manor Lane Post Office – Charfield
  • Thursday: The Hub – North Nibley (Collected from surgery by volunteers)

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your last repeat prescription slip. Patients with Long Term Conditions will have a medication review as part of their full annual review in the month of their birth. Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.

Please allow 4 full working days for prescriptions to be processed and remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account.
