HOW
DO I....
OBTAIN
A REPEAT PRESCRIPTION?
Requests for repeat prescriptions should either be put in the box in the entrance hall, faxed or posted to us. Repeat prescription requests should be submitted via the computer-printed form attached to your prescription, but if you have mislaid this a request form can be obtained from reception. Please allow two working days for the prescriptions to be completed which can be collected at reception or posted if you have provided a stamped, addressed envelope.
To avoid mistakes no requests can be taken over the telephone by any member of staff - there are, though, rare exceptions and these will be authorised by your Doctor.
Some chemists arrange a collection and delivery service and we have an authorisation form for patients to complete. Please ask at reception for the form.
PRIVATE
PRESCRIPTIONS
We do not automatically convert private prescriptions to NHS ones and will only
do so when we have received a full report from the consultant in question. In
addition, the medication prescribed must meet the approval of the pharmaceutical
advisory committee of the Haringey Primary Care Trust.
An explanatory leaflet is available from reception and is also displayed on our
notice board in the entrance hall.
Please remember all prescriptions take 48 hours to process.
