Repeat Prescriptions
We want to make it easy for our patients to order repeat medication, and you can request your medication by fax or online, by post, in person or via a pharmacy.
Your request will be processed within TWO working days of receipt so please allow sufficient time to order your medicines before you run out. Prescriptions will be ready after 2pm each day.
We regret that we cannot accept telephone requests for repeat prescriptions. This is to remove the possibility of mistakes being made in transcribing telephone requests and also to free up our telephone lines for patients urgent medical needs.
IN PERSON: It will help us to provide a better service if you return the white, right hand portion of your previous prescription, indicating which items you are requesting. If you cannot do this, please complete one of the yellow request forms, which are on the reception desk.
POST: Please type, or write clearly your name, address, date of birth, plus the name of your medications, the strength and the quantity – for example, patient number 001, Aspirin 75mg x 28.
ONLINE: by filling in the form (link above)
FAX: 0844 477 2508
E-MAIL: to leckhampton.scripts@glos.nhs.uk
To maintain confidentiality if you use fax or e-mail to request your prescription, you need only provide your patient record number (shown on the top right hand side of your last prescription) plus to name of your medication, the strength and the quantity – for example, patient number 001, Aspirin 75mg x 28.
Collection of Prescriptions
Most pharmacies offer a service to collect prescriptions from the surgery on behalf of patients. The pharmacies then get the medicines ready for patients to collect direct from the pharmacy, which saves patients a trip to the surgery. If this service would help you, please contact your local pharmacy to find out if they can offer this.
