Prescriptions

There are multiple ways you can order repeat medication, these being online, in person, via the pharmacy or by post.  The easiest way is online, and we now have NEW "Online Services" which patients can sign-up for (this will in time replace the existing prescription system).  

• NEW Patient Online Services Login - Patient Services (if not registered complete Form). Further info below. 
• via the EXISTING portal on our website  prescription system
• fill out a repeat prescriptions request form (if you are not registered for online services or are aged under 16 years)
• bring the paper form to the surgery, Monday to Friday from 8:30am to 6pm

We do not take repeat prescription requests over the phone.

We aim to process prescription requests within 48 business hours therefore please ensure requests are submitted in advance and allow for weekends and public holidays when we are closed.  Please also select a local pharmacy for your prescription to be sent to, and allow another 48 hours before attending your nominated Pharmacy before collecting your prescription. Some pharmacies offer a ‘managed prescription’ service. If you choose this option then you do not require to contact the practice for ordering or collection of prescriptions.

Patient Services has been in Scotland for a while and is widely used by most practices.  Patient Access Services allows you to view what repeat medications can be ordered.  It provides direct access to your notes on our system (called Vision) to view medication only, and shows the last time you received the medication as well the progress of any requests.  There is no need to type in medication names and quantities just simply tick what you require. It also shows your preference pharmacy which is held on your record.

If you have NOT already registered for the online service (with username and password created) then please complete the form below.  Once completed, we will call you to verify your ID and then you receive a email with instructions on how to create your unique username and password. Fill in Form Here!
