Repeat Prescriptions

 

Important

Lonsdale Medical Centre does not accept prescription requests over the telephone.

We have a fully computerised system for prescriptions. Patients should have a request slip and this may be dropped in or posted .

Repeat prescriptions are normally issued for one month at a time. This is recommended by our Clinical Commissioning Group. Under some circumstances (eg prolonged abscence from home) up to 3 months may be issued at a time.

Please allow three working days, or 72 hours, before collection at the surgery and three working days if collecting the prescription from the pharmacy. 

Ordering a Repeat Prescription

When you order a prescription online, you can have it sent electronically to a pharmacy of your choice. This is called a nomination.

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 repeat slip.

Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.
