Repeat Prescriptions

There are several ways to order repeat prescriptions:

(Repeat prescriptions are items of medication which a doctor or hospital specialist has approved for regular issue, and will be required to be taken by the patient until the doctor or hospital specialist stops the medication).

(Acute re-issues are items of medication which the doctor or hospital specialist feels should be reviewed before every issue)

(From 1 September 2022) - Orders for all 'repeat' prescriptions or 'acute re-issues' will be ready delivered to your nominated pharmacy 72 working hours after the order is received.
