Repeat Prescriptions

If you are on regular medication you may be able to obtain a repeat prescription without seeing the doctor each time.  Please discuss this with the doctor who will decide if this is the best way for you to obtain your medicine.

If your doctor agrees, you can request your medication in a number of ways:

  • By hand – drop your computer prescription order form into reception with the required medication ticked.
  • By telephone -

Arran patients can telephone 24 hours per day, seven days per week.  When you phone the surgery, you will hear a voicemail message. Please select option 1. You will be asked for:

      • Your name
      • Your date of birth
      • Your contact telephone number
      • Name and strength of the medicines you require
      • Name of the chemist/pharmacy who collect your medicines (where appropriate)       

Please leave all the information and we will have your prescription ready for you after 48 hours or two working days.

You do not need to phone to confirm that we have received your order.
