Repeat prescription orders

If the doctor agrees repeat prescriptions may be ordered by written request, by ringing our repeat prescription line or online from this website.

Prescriptions are normally available to collect after 2 pm the following day. We are happy to post out your prescriptions to you if you provide us with a supply of stamped addressed envelopes.

Open 10.00 - 12.00 am and 2.00 - 4.00 pm Monday to Friday

Generic Policy

Every drug has 2 names. It can be very confusing. For example NUROFEN is a trade name or marketing name, the generic or chemical name is IBUPROFEN. Similarly PANADOL and PARACETAMOL.

It is Government policy to increase the rate of generic prescribing. The Practice has taken the decision to prescribe generically, where possible.

Equivalence - quantity of drugs allowed on each prescription

There has recently been a Government directive recommending that on any prescription the maximum quantity of drugs prescribed should be those needed for 28 days. If further supplies are needed then they should be repeated every 28 days. The Government say this would prevent wastage and save over 10% of the national drug bill. In some cases however we do prescribe for a longer period i.e. 3 months to benefit the patient. This is the decision of your doctor.
