Prescriptions
A request for a repeat prescription can be made in a number of
different ways, always giving 48 hours (2 working days) notice:-
WORLD WIDE WEB: We are currently setting up "EMIS Access", a system that
will allow you to book appointments and order repeat prescriptions
online at
https://access.e-mis.co.uk/
This system is just being set up and is not yet online for patients at
Gleadless Medical Centre, but we hope will be very soon!
POST: If you would like your prescription posting back to you
please remember to enclose a stamped addressed envelope, without one we
will not be able to deal with your request (please allow 5 working days
for turn around)
FAX: 0114 264 2277 ensuring that you include your full name, date
of birth and details of the medicines required
DROP IN YOUR REQUEST AT THE SURGERY: Drop your prescription
request through the letter box to the front of the building. Preferably
please use the right half of your previous prescription, ticking the
items required.
If you do not have this to hand please make sure that you include your
full name, date of birth and details of the medications required.
In the interests of safe prescribing we are not able to accept
prescription requests over the reception desk, either written or
verbally, and you will be advised to use one of the above alternative
options.
Please always ensure you leave all the relevant details required (as
stated above) and please note that we need 48 hours (2 working days) to
process your request, so please do not wait until you are almost out of
medicine before requesting one.
If you usually use the same pharmacy to dispense your medicines, we can
send your prescription directly to them. Several local pharmacies
collect prescriptions from the surgery, and some will also offer to
deliver the medicines to you if you cannot get out to collect them.
We encourage you to use this method and to give us details of your
pharmacy. Until you give us notice your prescriptions will then be sent
to that pharmacy.
Ask your pharmacist for details of the delivery service if you need
this.
Local pharmacies are also able to prescribe and dispense medicines for
minor illness, and this may save you an appointment at the surgery for a
minor problem.
(Your medicine may be dispensed free of charge if you have a
prescription fee exemption )
