Repeat Prescriptions

If your doctor has agreed, you may obtain medicines on a repeat prescription without having to see him/her. However, you may be asked to attend a review if your condition needs checking.

You may get a repeat prescription by either bringing in your slip, fully completed with your requirements, to the prescription desk, or post it in the letter box if we are closed. Alternatively, you can order a repeat prescription in the following ways:

* By email on: 'Repeat Prescriptions ' or by typing repeats@posterngate.co.uk in the 'To' line on you email sender.

Please note that at present we do not offer an encryption service for e-mail requests, and therefore this information is passed at your own risk. If you have any concerns about this, please use an alternative method to order your repeat prescription.

* order via the internet - see link below.

Dispensed Medicines

Medicines can be dispensed to patients who attend our branch surgeries. We stock those medicines that we normally prescribe, but occasionally we may not have an item in stock. We can often get these within 24 hours but if the need is more immediate, or if you wish, you can be given a prescription, which you can take to a pharmacy of your choice.

Medicines can be obtained during normal branch surgery hours.

We regret that the NHS rules prevent us from dispensing medicines to patients who live outside an area authorised by the local Primary Care Trust.
