General Information
|
In line with national guidelines we will usually only issue one month’s supply of medication at a time, this is to reduce the huge cost of wastage to the NHS by people not taking their medications. If you need extra medication (to cover a holiday for example) please talk to the dispensary staff or your GP.
Please note, dispensary staff are not permitted to prepare repeat prescriptions on demand. |
 |
The Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) has a policy that advises all GP Practice adopt 28 days as the standard treatment length for repeat prescriptions
Medication Reviews
Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor or nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip. Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.
REMEMBER
Keep your medicines in a secure, locked place out of reach of small children.
Always read the instructions and use the suggested dose.
Watch expiry dates – don’t keep or use medicines past their sell-by date.
Don't take medicines that were prescribed to someone else.
Take all unwanted and out-of-date medicines back to a pharmacy.
