Pharmacy Collection Service
Your pharmacist may collect your prescription for you if you ask them to, but we will only accept prescription requests from you (or your carer). We do not accept requests for prescriptions from pharmacies.
Electronic Prescription Service
The Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) is a service which is now available from Woodway Medical Centre It gives you the chance to change how your GP sends your prescription to the place you choose to get your medicines or appliances from. See details under the separate tab above.
Unwanted Medicines
If there is anything you do not require on your prescription please tell the receptionist so that she can remove it. It is illegal for anyone other than the surgery to alter your prescription so please ask us before you leave the surgery.
Medication Reviews
Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor or practice nurse at least once every six months to review their regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip advising you of your review date. Please ensure that you book your appointment for your prescription review in good time otherwise you may run out of your medication.
Once your review date has expired further prescription cannot be issued without authorisation by the GP or Practice Nurse.
