My Medication

I am a visitor

Please contact your Practice back at home – they have access to your health record and are best placed to help you for safety reasons.

Your home Practice should be able to send your prescription electronically, to a pharmacy local to where you are staying.

Managing my Medication

Please ensure you make requests for prescriptions a few days before your medication runs out. All prescriptions are now processed electronically so you will need to nominate a pharmacy in order for us to process your request.

Please allow 3 working days for your prescription to be dispensed.

Any requests for additional items, which are not on repeat, have to be authorised by the doctor.  These prescriptions may take three working days to be issued or may not be available without an appointment.  In order to eliminate mistakes prescriptions may not be requested over the telephone but can be made online, by email or through your nominated pharmacy.

I regularly forget to request my medication, or I leave it to the last minute

Let the Receptionist/Prescription Clerk know you would like to have your medication managed by the Practice (batched).  The Practice Pharmacist/or a GP will then see if we can pre-authorise some, or all of your medication, for up to a year – you then only need to go to your preferred pharmacy to collect it as instructed.
