Medication Reviews
Your medication will need to be reviewed, usually this is an annual process, however it may need to be more frequent for some medications or if you have conditions such as chronic kidney disease. This is so that we can assess whether the medicine is still right for you or whether the dose needs to be altered. It may be possible to complete this via online questionnaire, or by speaking to a clinician either in person or over the phone.
If your review is overdue, this may impact on the speed and ease with which your prescriptions can be issued.
Repeat Dispensing
If you, or someone you care for, use the same medicines regularly, you may be able to benefit from repeat dispensing from your pharmacist. This means you won't have to visit the surgery every time you need more medicines.
