Important Information

  • We do not take requests for prescriptions over the telephone
  • It takes 72 hours to process your request
  • Please read your prescription as this will highlight whether you need any reviews to your medication, and what you need to do
  • Please tick the items you need to order. A prescription handed in with no items ticked will not be processed
  • If you do not have a copy of your repeat prescription, you can write the medication you require along with your name and date of birth on a piece of paper and drop it in the letterbox at the front of the surgery
  • Alternatively, you can email your request to Mainreception.W97032@wales.nhs.uk

Nominated Pharmacy

The practice is set up for Nominated Pharmacies.

This means that for most patients we can send your prescription to your chosen chemist directly saving you having to come down to the surgery.

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a pharmacist, doctor or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip.

If you do not attend for your medication review, you may not be able to order repeat prescriptions

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

Hospital Prescriptions

When you are discharged from hospital you should normally receive 7 to 14 days' supply of medication.This will include the medication which you require after your treatment.

The hospital may provide you with a yellow discharge letter for medication they would like you to request from your GP. Please bring this to the surgery or post via S.A.E. before your supply of medication has run out. Please ensure your name is on the yellow discharge letter to ensure we can process the request for you.

Hospital requests for change of medication will be checked by a Clinician first, and if necessary will issue you with a prescription. The Practice will endeavour to issue your presciption as soon as possible, but it cannot be issued until your medical details are checked by a Clinician.
