Please remember it is responsibility of each patient to make sure that they have sufficient amount of medication and that their medication is being requested and collected.
We are keen to ensure that patients with ongoing medical problems are monitored regularly. If the date for your next review with a doctor or nurse has passed you will be asked to make an appointment. Please remember it is responsibility of a patient to make this appointment. If medical reviews are overdue the Clinician can refuse to issue further medication or issue only limited amount until the patient is seen and reviewed. You can have medication review with:
- Practice nurse
- Clinical practitioners
- GP
If you think you may need a new prescription for medicine, please make an appointment with the doctor.
Please note that we do not take repeat prescriptions requests over the phone.
