Similarly you can order a repeat prescription by telephoning 028 9331 5802 between 09:30 – 11:30 and 14:00 – 15:30.

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.

Please allow 72 hours for prescriptions to be processed and ready at your pharmacy of choice and remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account.
