Repeat Prescriptions
We can only accept written requests for repeat prescriptions. We cannot accept verbal or telephone requests.
This policy is in place to:
- Ensure maximum patient safety
- Ensure that patients are aware of the medications they are requesting
- Reduce the risk of prescribing of unnecessary medications
- Ensure accurate records of patient medication requests are kept
- Minimise human error
Repeat prescriptions are only issued within 5 days of being due and therefore we ask that you only order your prescription within 7 days of being due. We aim to have all prescription requests reviewed and delivered to your pharmacy within 5 working days. Please do not attend the surgery to collect your prescription.
There are two ways to request a repeat prescription:
Fill out the form below OR
Hand deliver your written request to the front door of the surgery. Please make sure to include the Patient’s Name, Address, Date of Birth and a full list of the medication required. Also, please make sure to include the Pharmacy Name so that the prescription can be delivered directly to them for your collection.
Please note there is a €20 fee for all private prescriptions. Pre-payment for prescriptions is required. We will send out a text link for payment for your convenience when we process your request. Alternatively you can phone in with your card details.
