Repeat prescriptions will be ready for collection after 72 working hours. Please inform us if someone other than the patient will be collecting the prescription. Alternatively we are happy to post your prescription to you if you supply us with a stamped addressed envelope.

Many pharmacies will also organise to pick up and even deliver your prescription for you.

All patients on repeat medication must see a doctor or practice nurse at the surgery at least once a year to review their medications.

Knowing what medicines you take and how you take them helps everyone involved to make correct decisions about your care.

Healthcare professionals need to know all of the medicines you are taking, to check that medicines and combinations are effective and safe.

Having an up-to-date, written or printed list of your medicines can help:

• when you might not be able to remember your medications, for example, at an appointment or in an emergency.
• reduce the chance of errors.
• when requesting a repeat prescription from your GP. Make sure to keep a copy for yourself!
