Prescriptions

The easiest ways to order repeat prescriptions are:

• using the GP online system: Patient Access

Please come in to the surgery to request paperwork to access this service.

These accounts show you all your repeat medicine and dosage and you can choose the ones you need.

You can also:

• call 0141 550 7970 (option 2) between 10:30am and 4pm or you can ask your local pharmacy to order your medication for you.

You can collect your prescription from the surgery or a pharmacy 48 hours after ordering.

You will need to choose a pharmacy to collect your prescription from. We call this nominating a pharmacy.

You can change your nominated pharmacy at any time:

• at your GP practice
• at any pharmacy that accepts repeat prescriptions

As qualified healthcare professionals, pharmacists can offer advice on minor illnesses such as:

• coughs
• colds
• sore throats
• tummy trouble
• aches and pains
• rashes
• shingles
• UTI (female only) ask your pharmacy for details.

Medication can be provided free of charge to all patients in the Governement Pharmacy First scheme.

They can also advise on medicine that you can buy without a prescription.

Many pharmacies are open until late and at weekends. You do not need an appointment.

Most pharmacies have a private consultation room where you can discuss issues with pharmacy staff without being overheard.

If you have a repeat prescription, we may ask you to have a medication review with one of our GP's or our in house pharmacist.

Take it to the pharmacy you got it from or bring it in to the surgery. Do not put it in your household bin or flush it down the toilet.

If you have questions about your medicine, your local pharmacists can answer these. They can also answer questions on medicines you can buy without a prescription.

The NHS website has information on how your medicine works, how and when to take it, possible side effects and answers to your common questions.
