Your home Practice should be able to send your prescription electronically, to a pharmacy local to where you are staying.
Managing my Medication
Please ensure you make requests for prescriptions a few days before your medication runs out. All prescriptions are now processed electronically so you will need to nominate a pharmacy in order for us to process your request.
- Repeat prescription requests left before 12.30pm will available at your pharmacy after 5.00 pm the following day.
- Prescription requests left after 12.30pm will be available after two days.
- Requests left on a Friday afternoon will be available after 5.00 pm the following Tuesday.
Any requests for additional items, which are not on repeat, have to be authorised by the doctor. These prescriptions may take three working days to be issued or may not be available without an appointment. In order to eliminate mistakes prescriptions may not be requested over the telephone but can be made online, by email or through your nominated pharmacy.
