Repeat Prescriptions:-

There are 3 different ways you can order your repeat prescription:

Contact the prescription ordering hub Monday to Friday between 7.00am and 17.00pm on 01656 311010.

Drop your repeat slip into the surgery letter box - circle what you need - 24 hours a day

Use My health on Line - 24 hours a day

Please allow 72 hours for processing your repeat request and collecting your medication from your pharmacist. 

Do not let your medication run too low, you can order your monthly prescription from up to one week before it is due again. 

If you require your medication any earlier than one week in advance, please contact reception.

 Further Helpful advice regarding repeat prescriptions

Please advise our surgery staff if there are items on your repeat prescription that you are no longer taking.  If you do re-order by post and would like the new prescription returned to you, you must enclose a stamped addressed envelope.  If you mislay your repeat medication request, you can request on a plain piece of paper, with your name, date of birth, address and the items you require.

 You can arrange for your pharmacist to collect your prescription for you and have it made up ready for you to collect.  Please contact your pharmacist to arrange this service.  

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice 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.

Some medication requires you to have an annual blood check or other tests before the doctor will re-authorise a further year’s supply.  If such a test is due you may find your prescription has a form attached informing you of any tests which you may need to be carried out prior to your appointment with the doctor to re-authorise your medication.

Urgent Prescriptions

Emergency and urgent (same day) prescriptions issued between 8am and 12 midday will be collected and taken by a member of the surgery to WELL Pharmacy next door at 12 o'clock at your request.

The pharmacy will endeavour to have these ready for collection within a few hours.

Emergency and urgent prescriptions issued between 12 midday and 5.00pm will again be collected together and taken by a member of the surgery staff to WELL Pharmacy next door at your request

The pharmacy will endeavour to have these ready for collection before closing at 6.00pm.

You can still request your emergency prescription be sent to your nominated Pharmacy but we cannot guarantee a time it will be ready.  You can still collect your emergency Prescription from main reception at Llynfi Surgery but ask that you collect after 2.00pm where possible.
