Prescriptions

Repeat Medication requests need to be order at least 48 hours before they are due.  This does not include bank holidays or weekends.

We are now live with the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) so if you have nominated a local pharmacy, your prescriptions will be sent electronically directly to your nominated pharmacy once issued and authorised by the GP. This service makes obtaining your medication very easy if you find it difficult to come to the surgery to collect your prescription. If you have not yet nominated a pharmacy, you can still get a green prescription from the surgery, or just pop in to a pharmacy of your choice and ask to nominate them.

Patient Access You can order your repeat medication online. Bring 2 forms of ID to the Surgery and a Receptionist can register you to online patient access.

How to order:

• Fax – If you have a fax machine, you may fax your order to 0151 295 9331
• SAE – You can post your order to the surgery along with a stamped addressed envelope, or leave a stamped addressed envelope at reception, and we can post your prescription back to you once it has been processed

Prescriptions

If you are registered with Patient Access you can view and order your repeat prescriptions online. We would encourage patients to use the Patient Access service to request repeat medication as this enables your repeat request to be processed more quickly and efficiently.

Changes to repeat prescription ordering

We are making some changes to the way that repeat prescriptions are made, this is known as Direct Patient Ordering (DPO). See Link
