HOW DO I....
OBTAIN A REPEAT PRESCRIPTION?

Patients requiring repeat prescriptions are asked to give at least 48 hours' notice (excluding bank holidays and weekends), before their medication is required. Prescriptions left after 10.00am on Friday may not be ready for collection until after 2.00pm on Monday.

Repeat prescriptions are computerised. Requests can be made in writing, preferably by ticking the items required on the repeat order form attached to the previous prescription. If you enclose a stamped addressed envelope, we will post them back to you, but please allow extra time for the postal service. Otherwise they can be collected during office hours. They can also be faxed on 01706 341859 and emailed to mariecrawford@nhs.net

Repeat prescriptions can also be telephoned through on Rochdale 355111 after 11.00am or on our automated line between 6.30pm and 8.00am Monday to Friday you should call 01706 764910.

When you have reached your allowed number of repeats you will be asked to see a doctor to update the repeat prescription. This should normally be in the next month or so and is not an urgent issue.

Please do not wait until you are almost out of medicine before requesting more, but do not request prescriptions until they are due..
