Prescriptions

Usually please  order your medication at least 48 hours (2 working days) before you require it. We usually accept requests up to 10 days in advance.

For patients on long-term medication and eligible for repeat prescriptions, there are a number of options available for re-ordering.

• In person – leave your computerised repeat slip at reception with the required items clearly marked.
• App – use a mobile app (For links CLICK HERE).
• Online – follow the link at the top of this page and complete a simple registration
• Email – send your request to selicb.306medicalcentre@nhs.net. In the subject heading please type ‘ Repeat Prescription Request‘ followed by your name.

The surgery recommends that you nominate a chemist of your choice to which your prescription can be sent to, electronically. If you have not done this, kindly please do so at your earliest. This would save you time, as could then proceed directly to your chemist of choice to collect your medication (2 working days after making your request).  You can advise us by email of your preferred/nominated chemist when you place your medication request.

Please note, we are usually unable to accept requests for repeat prescriptions over the telephone.

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip. Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions. Please note contraceptive pills require a six monthly review with the nurse.

Medication Request

Please allow two full working days for prescriptions to be processed and remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account. You may order your medication upto 10 days before you run out. Any problems please email the surgery on selicb.306medicalcentre@nhs.net.
