Hazelwood Group Practice

Patients on 'repeat' medication will have to attend regular medication reviews, as agreed with the doctor, BEFORE further 'repeats' can be issued. Make sure you book your appointment two weeks before your medication runs out. If you fail to book an appointment in time, you could delay access to your medication.

If your condition is stable on your repeat medication, you may be issued with six months' prescriptions in the form of one authority plus six repeat prescriptions. You need to give ALL the paperwork to the pharmacy of your choice and then collect the medication from that same pharmacy each month. When you are down to three weeks' medication, make another appointment with a doctor for a medication review and order another six months of prescriptions from the surgery when you have seen the doctor.

For those patients who are issued with monthly prescriptions by the surgery, please order a further month using the computer-generated repeat request form attached to your last prescription. You must allow two working days from ordering the prescription to picking it up.
