Repeat Prescriptions
If your long-term medication has been approved on repeat prescription you can order in a number of ways:
- In person - hand your repeat slip in at reception with the required items clearly marked.
- By post - send it to us with a stamped addressed envelope if you want us to post it back to you.
- Online - follow the link at the top of this page and complete a simple one-off registration.
We do not accept requests for repeat prescriptions over the telephone.
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.
Please allow two full working days for prescriptions to be processed and remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account.
We NO LONGER accept any repeat prescription requests from community pharmacies on behalf of patients. Patients (or their carer, nominated family member/friend) will have to order repeat prescriptions directly from the GP practice themselves. Collection of prescriptions from GP practices by community pharmacies on behalf of patients will not be affected.
The practices made/making this change, with full support of NHS Rotherham CCG, have carefully considered all options, engaged extensively with key stakeholders(patients, carers, patient participation groups and voluntary groups)
If you, or someone you care for, use the same medicines on a daily basis (ie regularly) you may be able to benefit from using the NHS electronic repeat dispensing service the practice offers to suitable patients. This service means you wont have to order your repeat prescription from the GP practice every time you need more medicine. Just collect your dispensed medication from your nominated community pharmacy.
