Getting Your Medication

Whiteparish Surgery is a dispensing practice. This means that the Doctors and Nurse Prescribers are able to prescribe you with the appropriate medication and our team of Dispensers are able to prepare and dispense all prescription only medications - this includes controlled drugs.

If you are prescribed regular medicines, your Doctor may decide that you should have a repeat prescription so that you do not need to see a Doctor every time you need the prescription renewed.

Your condition will still be monitored by the Doctor or Nurse so you will need to make an appointment to see them from time to time to ensure that you can continue being given your medication. When you collect a repeat prescription, you are given a slip of paper that will advise you when you need to make an appointment to speak with your Doctor or Nurse.

Medication Reviews

A repeat prescription allows you to reorder your medication a certain number of times before having to see a Doctor or a Nurse to have it reviewed. However, you still need to be monitored to ensure that the medication is still suitable for you and the Doctor or Nurse can monitor how you are getting on.

How do I know when I am due a review? 

Each medicine listed on your prescription will tell you the following;

  • The name of the medicine
  • Its strength and how to take it
  • When the medicine was last ordered and,
  • How many more times you can order it before you need to see the doctor for a review.

If you can see - please see GP to order more -  this is when you will need a review. 

If your review date has expired, a member of the team will tell you how to obtain a further prescription. This may involve making an appointment. If you need your medication before that appointment please speak with us and we will organise what to do next. 

We have a community Pharmacist who is available to discuss your medication queries or undertake medication reviews on a Thursday morning.
