Acute Prescriptions

ONE-OFF PRESCRIPTION REQUESTS

To order: Call 01482 335533 Option 1

One-off prescriptions which are not regularly repeated are known as acute prescriptions.

You can ask your pharmacist for advice on minor ailments - and if appropriate, youy may be able to buy medicines over the counter without having to see a doctor. NHS 111 is available 24/7 to give advice or by telephone on-line.

If you feel it is more appropriate to see a doctor or if the pharmacist recommends a GP appointment, your doctor may prescribe or refer you to another health professional. A prescription is not always appropriate for a patient's needs.

If you are sure that your medical problem is minor, the doctor may issue a prescription following a telephone request to our receptionist. In certain circumstances, the doctor may telephone for more information - or invite you to the surgery for assessment.

If you telephone the surgery  for an acute prescription, our reception staff will need to know:

WHO is the precription for?

WHAT are the symptoms?

HOW LONG have the symptoms persisted?

MEDICATIONS?

WHO is the precription for?
