Repeat Medication

Dispensing Services

We have a large dispensary situated within the surgery which is manned by a fully registered pharmacist and a qualified dispensing team. We are able to dispense to most patients who live more than 1 mile away from a chemist providing a one-stop pharmacy service when you come for your appointment. Under certain circumstances we may be able to dispense to any patients living within one mile of the surgery who, because of chronic illness and infirmity, find it difficult to get to a chemist. If you feel that you are in this category, please discuss this with your doctor who may arrange for completion of a special needs dispensing form on your behalf for approval by the Flintshire Local Health Board.

Repeat Prescriptions

• These will be issued at the discretion of the doctors to patients on long-term medication
• In order to process your repeat medication request we ask you to give us 48 hours notice (2 working days excluding Saturday and Sunday and Bank Holidays)
• You will receive a tear off slip with each prescription. PLEASE CHECK THE ITEMS CAREFULLY TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE CORRECT. If there are any items that you no longer use discuss this with your doctor so that they may be deleted from the list if your doctor feels that this is appropriate.
• When you need any medication this tear off slip should be brought into or posted to the surgery indicating which items you require.
• Alternatively you can order your repeat medication “On Line”. Please click on the “On Line services” page of this website).
• The receptionists are not allowed to accept requests for repeat prescriptions over the telephone because of the danger of mistakes being made, and because it is in your interest that telephone lines are kept as clear as possible for emergencies and other enquiries.
• If you are a patient for whom we do not dispense medication, we can post your repeat prescription to you if you have enclosed a stamped addressed envelope.
