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.
The NHS App
Order repeat prescriptions via the NHS App or NHS website, and have them sent to a pharmacy of your choice.
Use Online Services
The only way to order your prescription is by using our online services.
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.
