Repeat Prescriptions

 WE DO NOT ACCEPT PRESCRIPTIONS OVER THE TELEPHONE FOR SAFETY REASONS 

1. Ordering online - it is easier than you think and we at the practice will help you to set this up, meaning you can order 24/7. For further details on how to access online ordering please speak to your practice

2. E-mail - you can e-mail your request cmicb-war.springfieldspx@nhs.net

3. Drop off or post to us the tick slip – this is the right-hand side of your prescription, selecting only the items you need. If you don’t have your slip please put your request in writing listing the medications you require.

Remember to allow enough time when ordering your repeat prescription for those items that you need. You should order when you have seven to 10 days of medicines left so that your prescription is ready to collect at the practice or at your nominated Pharmacy.

We would appreciate your co-operation and understanding with Reception staff when they are unable to accommodate a telephone request.

Prescriptions are processed within 48 hours, for example, prescriptions received by 4 pm on Monday will be ready by 4 pm on Wednesday. Prescriptions received after 4 pm on Friday will be ready after 4 pm on Tuesday.

At times the Doctor will not automatically issue a repeat prescription. This will occur if your condition has not been assessed for some time and the Doctor wishes to see you, if a blood test is overdue or if there is a question as to whether the medication remains necessary. In most cases you will be offered a short term prescription and asked to arrange an appointment.

To book an on-line telephone appointment or to order your **prescription please click on the systmonline box further down this page. (You must be registered for this service, please contact reception for details)

**Please be aware you do not have to book a review with the GP if you find the tick box unavailable to order your repeat medication. Please enter the medication you require in the box "medication request notes"
