Prescriptions

Repeat Prescriptions

We will be happy to provide regular prescriptions by computer for those patients on permanent treatment. They can be ordered in the following ways:

  • Online - There are a number of ways to order your prescription online:
    • Register for online services - You can ask for an application form for online access at our front desk to apply for access to online services.
    • The NHS APP - We recommend patients use the NHS APP to access their online services and you are also able to register for access when you first access the app.
    • E-Mail the surgery - You can email your request to the following address:
      • gmicb-sto.prescriptions.bredburymedicalcentre@nhs.net
  • Via a chemist - Your pharmacy may be willing to order your prescription on your behalf. They will be able to nominate themselves to receive your prescription and contact us to request it.
  • In person/via post - You can still order your prescriptions at the front desk. If you're unable to make it when we're open, simply post your request through the letter box and it will be picked up the next day.

Please allow four full working days for prescriptions to be processed and remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account. This should give us enough time to process, sign and send your prescription to your nominated pharmacy who can then order and prepare your medication for collection or delivery.

Electronic Prescribing Service

This practice is set up for the electronic prescription service.

This means that for most patients we can send your prescription to your chosen chemist directly saving you having to come down to the surgery.

To get your prescription sent to your chosen pharmacy you will have to ask reception to sign up.

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.
