Why can I not see all my medications on the repeat prescription list?

The doctor who prescribed your medication will decide whether it will be listed as a repeat medication on your records. This is a safety issue to ensure you are reviewed appropriately before any further medication is prescribed for you. If it is appropriate for you to order further prescriptions of the medication online it will be available for you to see and order when you login.

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner, practice nurse or clinical pharmacist at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip. You may be asked to do a blood test before your review.

It is a good idea to ensure you are aware of your annual medication review date so you can book an appropriate appointment in advance to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions. If you are not aware of when your medication review is due, please feel free to ask at reception.
