Repeat Prescriptions
Repeat prescriptions can be ordered by:
- Ordering them via Patient Access. If you are not yet signed up for online services, please complete our online form.
- Contacting the surgery (by hand or by post). If you are posting your repeat prescription request and require us to post it back to you, please send it to us with a stamped addressed envelope.
Prescription requests cannot be taken over the telephone.
Please allow at least four working days, excluding weekends and bank holidays, for your request to be processed. If you experience any problems please telephone the surgery.
Port Isaac Dispensary
Processing of repeat prescriptions is currently taking longer than usual due to staff shortages. We will action your request today but are asking patients to allow 7-10 days for your prescription to be dispensed. We understand this is a long wait and are hoping these delays are only temporary, we are working extremely hard to resolve the current backlog. However, if you are going to run out before then, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us either by e-mail or telephone.
We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Please continue to allow an extra day for Bank Holidays, please also bear in mind we are currently experiencing some stock shortages
New Service
The dispensary are now offering a Managed Repeat Service. This means there will be no need to order your repeat medications.
Please ask at the dispensary for details.
Medication Reviews
Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, clinical pharmacist 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.
