Prescriptions

Ordering repeat prescriptions

If you are taking regular medication, you will be issued with a computer slip listing the drugs you are taking. Repeat medication request slips are also available in the practice foyer. When you need more medication tick the items you need and either:

Place your request into the prescriptions box in the Practice foyer
Order online via the NHS App (this is the quickest method as it goes straight to the GP’s inbox)

WE ARE ADVISING ALL PATIENTS TO DOWNLOAD THE NHS APP TO ORDER PRESCRIPTIONS.

REGISTRATION DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY PAPERWORK TO BE COMPLETED AT THE SURGERY-IT CAN ALL BE DONE FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME.

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO A SMARTPHONE/ IPAD ETC. THEN PRESCRIPTION REQUESTS CAN BE EMAILED TO THE PRACTICE EMAIL ADDRESS:

cmicb-wi.moretongrouppractice@nhs.net

Please allow 2 working days for your repeat prescription to be processed, excluding weekends and bank holidays. You may be asked to make an appointment if the doctor feels that you need an up to date review. The surgery does not accept repeat prescription requests over the telephone and your request will be refused unless you are registered as a housebound patient.

Please only ask for the drugs you need.

Queries about your medication

From time to time your medication may change:-

From a tablet to capsule or vice versa
From one brand to another
Another equivalent medication

Your doctor will only do this if the new medication is as good as or better at treating your condition.

If you have any queries about these changes to your medication please speak to a member of staff at the practice or if you prefer your local pharmacist.

Making such changes helps to ensure that every penny spent on your local NHS is spent wisely.

This practice participates in the Wirral Prescribing Incentive Scheme.

This scheme aims to increase the quality and cost effectiveness of prescribing.
