Repeat Prescriptions
All our repeat prescriptions are computer generated. Items that the doctors intend to be repeated are printed on the right hand side of the prescription tear off slip. If you require a repeat prescription, tick the appropriate item and leave the tear off slip in the box provided in reception. Similarly you can order a repeat prescription by telephoning 028 9331 5802 between 09:30 – 11:30 and 14:00 – 15:30.
You can now order online if you have registered with us for this service. Simply click on the image above to go directly to the PatientAccess logon screen. You will be asked to enter your email or User ID and your password.
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.
