HOW DO I....
OBTAIN A REPEAT PRESCRIPTION?
Request slips for routine medications may be issued by your doctor and can be used to order further prescriptions. Please allow 24 hours for the request to be processed and if you wish this to be returned to you by post, please enclose a stamped, addressed envelope. You can request a prescription via email if you wish; send your request to prescriptions@gp-j84005.nhs.uk. Please state your name and address on the email and the names of the items and the dose etc you require.
Most chemists in the Ryde area operate a prescription collection service - ask at reception or your local pharmacy for details. From October 2011 The Electronic Prescription service will be available for patients to have some prescriptions sent electronically to the pharmacy of their choice by their GP. This will cut down on the number of times a patient needs to visit the surgery to collect a repeat prescription. You can go straight to the pharmacy, please ask your pharmacist for further details on this.
In order to avoid errors WE DO NOT ACCEPT REQUESTS FOR REPEAT PRESCRIPTIONS BY TELEPHONE OR WITHOUT A REQUEST SLIP.
HOW DO I....
OBTAIN MEDICAL CERTIFICATES?
Periods of absence from work of six
days or less do not need a doctor's certificate. Self-certificates for the first
week of illness are available at the reception desk.
