Prescription order service
Due to COVID-19 outbreak, we have amended how we operate as a practice:
Patients are now permitted to order their medication 10 days before they are due to run out.
Patients can now request their HRT and contraceptive pill without attending for a consultation. We are issuing a year's supply for those on the mini-pill or Progestrone-only pill (POP). For those on the Combined Oral pill (COCP), as there are more associated risks, you will be issued with a 6-month supply. Furthermore, one of our pharmacists may call you to discuss before issuing a prescription. Please send us your WEIGHT and BLOOD PRESSURE when requesting one of these items! You can also phone the practice and discuss with our practice nurse if you have any concerns about you health or the medication.
It is essential that we have your preferred pharmacy on record as prescriptions are no longer being left for patients to collect from the practice.
Please note we are not issuing longer supplies of medication due to the pandemic. The NHS permits a maximum of a 3 month supply. Please do not order more than your require as it will likely be refused by the practice.
GPs will still be available to discuss any medication concerns over the phone with patients.
Local pharmacies have advised they may take longer to process prescriptions. They would be grateful if those who do not require their medication urgently could wait 1 week before going to collect. |
Patients on repeat medication may order items listed on their re-order slip using this service.
Patients may also use the service to request a previously prescribed item (only if given by a doctor in this practice).
Patients should be aware that the request may be refused if the doctor feels he/she wishes the patient to be seen in the first instance.
Please allow 72 hours for collection of repeat medication and for previously prescribed medication (this allows the GP who prescribed the medication to fully review the request).
Please note that the on-line prescription form is NOT encrypted - if you are worried by this please request your repeat prescription in the traditional way.
The below form does not always work with apple devices depending on browser used, if you encounter any problems please use supplied email address below.
You may also use our email address but only for script requests, please include your name, DOB, contact no, where you collect your script, drug name and strength. prescriptions.s70094@nhslothian.scot.nhs.uk
The list below gives the names of pharmacies who offer to collect prescriptions on behalf of the patient. The patient MUST however contact their chosen pharmacy first and organise this service. Some pharmacies will ask you to sign a contract with them. Each pharmacy will offer a different level of service e.g. managed repeats, collection, home delivery. This is something that you should discuss with the pharmacy and thereafter let us know which your chosen pharmacy is. If you wish to change the pharmacy that collects your script, this MUST be organised by yourself and the new pharmacy before informing the practice. Please notes this in the comments section of form or in the body of your email.
The practice does NOT physically deliver the prescriptions to any of the pharmacies. The pharmacies listed each send a representative into the practice to collect the named prescriptions, or they provide the practice with stamped addressed envelopes.
