Acute
Prescriptions |
|
|
If you feel you
need a once-off (acute) prescription, you can give your details to the reception
staff. If the request is a medicine you have had in the past, your doctor may
issue you another course. If it is a medicine you have not taken in the past you
may be advised to speak to a doctor directly. The doctors do not routinely
prescribe antibiotics for children unless they have a face-to-face
consultation. |

order form and placing it in the reception box, handing over to the receptionist
or by posting it to the surgery. You can also request prescriptions using the

Private
prescriptions |
|
|
There are certain drugs that
cannot be issued as an NHS prescription. in this case your doctor will print a
private prescription. You are not charged by the surgery for this, but you will
have to pay the retail cost of the drug. Examples of this are the impotence
drugs, malarial tablets, some travel vaccines e.g. rabies, and Hepatitis B
vaccination. |
