REPEAT PRESCRIPTIONS
If your GP is based in Truro we are happy to take your prescription requests to the surgeries and collect them for dispensing. We need authorisation from you on the first occasion so that the surgery knows that you have agreed to our collecting your prescriptions.
If you wish, we can keep your repeat slips in the pharmacy and you can then order your repeat medications by phone, on our out of hours answerphone, or by e-mail.
We are sometimes asked why we can't set up a standing order to get your prescriptions repeated each month without involving you. National guidance says that we must check on each occasion which items are wanted, so that waste is avoided and your doctors can be sure that items that they are prescribing are the ones you need.
