It’s important to review how we manage our medications. Many patients rely on repeat prescriptions, but there’s a growing shift towards repeat dispensing...what's the difference?

Repeat Prescriptions are where you request this from the surgery or pharmacy each and every time your medication runs out.

Repeat Dispensing is a service which allows your GP to prescribe up to 12 months of medication at once. You can then get your medication at regular intervals (e.g., every month or two) without needing a new prescription each time.

This is another great way to save you time and reduce visits to the you GP surgery.
