Usually, repeat prescriptions are issued by a GP practice for treating long-standing conditions. A repeat prescription is often supplied for a certain period on a regular basis, probably for a period of six to 12 months. However, the duration may vary depending on the type of medicine advised and on the GP’s discretion.
Your GP will issue you a prescription that contains two parts. First part is the green slip, the actual prescription, while the second part is the white slip, which is the repeat re-order form. You need to tick the medicines you need on the white slip to get your repeat medications.
There are many pharmacies in the UK offering the online prescription collection service. This means they collect your prescription from your GP practice through the internet, saving you time and preventing you unnecessary trips to your GP practice.
Remember, an electronic prescription is the most important and confidential message that is shared between your GP practice and your pharmacy, which can help you to get your regular medicines. If you are not aware of the repeat prescription online service, please ask your GP practice or your pharmacist.
“Nomination” is one of the most important aspects of the repeat prescription online service. You must nominate a pharmacy to start using the service. It is essential to order the repeat prescription online at least a week before you run out of supply; this gives enough time to your GP and pharmacy to process your prescription.
