Repeat Prescriptions
Please allow 3 working days i.e. 72 hours (excluding bank holidays and weekends) when ordering repeat medication. When you receive a prescription, please retain the slip on the right hand side as this details all your regular medication.
When ordering your next prescription, to avoid mistakes, please ensure that you tick the items you require.
Alternatively you may order online via the link at the top of this page. New users to the system are required to complete a simple registration.
Telephone requests for repeats will not be accepted unless you are a housebound patient and this is indicated on your clinical record
Medication Reviews
Newtown Surgery now has a repeat prescribing policy in place whereby your medication is to be checked on an annual basis before it can be re-authorised. For many patients this will not be a problem as it is a simple medication review that needs to take place with the GP. For those few patients who are not compliant it will mean that until a review has taken place, weekly prescriptions will be issued and the service of allowing a pharmacy to collect & deliver on your behalf will be stopped until the review has taken place.
The Practice has brought this new policy in to help safeguard patients and to ensure that all patients being prescribed medications are being monitored appropriately.
