New Patient Prescriptions

If you normally take regular repeat medication please let us know by:

• Giving us a copy of your repeat prescription slip.
• Give us a copy of your medication label on your medication box or bottle which has your name, medication dosage and date.

The prescribing pharmacist will check your medication list and put them on the repeats list but we recommend you discuss this with our pharmacist to have a medication review within the first month of registering with the surgery.  For your convenience, this can be done by telephone.  It can take some time for your previous records to be delivered to us from your last GP surgery.  If you need medication before that, you can bring in your repeat slip and request your medication. You may need to see or speak to a pharmacist or doctor about your medication request. Please allow up to 2 working days for a prescription request.

Electronic Prescription Service

Electronic Prescription Service gives you the option to ‘nominate’ the pharmacy of your choice so that your prescriptions can be sent from the doctor to the pharmacy electronically.    Please click here for more information.

In order to avoid potentially dangerous errors we regret that we cannot take repeat prescription requests over the telephone. All requests must be made in writing or via the on-line repeat prescription request service “SystmOnline”. Requests can be emailed to florence.prescriptions@nhs.net
