It's important that you take your medication as advised and that if you have any questions, queries or concerns about the drugs that you're taking, you discuss them with your GP. Drugs are prescribed by the Clinical Team on either a one-off, or a repeat basis.
Repeat Prescriptions
It is a prescription which you and your doctor have agreed previously can be requested using the repeat slip for certain drugs. Your doctor will give you are computer generated slip for these medicines and you will not need to make an appointment with the doctor to obtain a prescription unless the medication needs to be 're-authorised'.
Order form for requesting them online is here
How to obtain repeat medication
This can be requested in person at reception (where you should leave your tear-off slip), by post (enclose a SAE) or by the website using the online form. Prescription requests left before 2pm will be available for collection after 2pm the following day; requests left after 2pm with be available 36 hours later. Repeats are not accepted over the telephone except in exceptional circumstances because experience has taught us that sometimes mistakes are made using this route.

A trip to your local pharmacy could save you a visit to you GP as pharmacists can offer advice on many minor ailments and injuries. Many also offer services such as diabetes and anti-coagulation (blood thinning) clinics and, thanks to recent NHS changes, more pharmacies will be offering a greater number of services.
