REPEAT PRESCRIPTIONS

We run a computerised system to issue repeat prescriptions which have already been agreed with your doctor.

Methods for ordering your prescriptions are:

  • Online (recommended) - via your NHS account (through the NHS website or NHS app. You will need your NHS number when setting up an account, this can be found in recent clinical correspondences, or you can call us.
  • Email - send your request by email.  Please include your full name, date of birth and what medications you require to: springh.scripts@nhs.net
  • In Person - return the counterfoil of the prescription document clearly marking with a tick the medication you require to reception. A box is provided in reception to enable you to deliver your prescription without having to wait. There is also a letterbox for when the surgery is closed.

 

WE DO NOT ACCEPT REQUESTS BY TELEPHONE

REPEAT DISPENSING (eRD) PRESCRIBING SYSTEM

If you are up to date with the necessary medication monitoring and are on a stable medication regime, you may be eligible for batch prescriptions. 

This is when the surgery sends a batch of prescriptions to your Pharmacy for a set time negating the need for you to request a prescription every time.

For more information, please book an appointment with the Practice Pharmacist.

MEDICATION REVIEWS

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a pharmacist, doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year to review regular medications. We will be in touch when you need to come in for a review.

Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions. 

DISPOSING OF UNWANTED MEDICINE

Take unwanted medicines to any pharmacy for safe disposal. Do not put them in your household bin.

Please contact the Surgery for more information about needle disposal.
