You can request an online Special Request Order Form below to order medications that do not appear on your repeat prescription list. This service is only available for registered patients. Acute/Special request prescriptions may take longer than the 2 working days (our timescale for Repeat Prescription requests) – to allow the doctor time to review your medical record and current medications.
Please allow at least 48 hours (2 working days), before your Prescription will be ready for collection. Prescriptions for items not on a Repeat Prescription Order form such as contraceptive pills and antidepressants cannot be provided outwith a consultation with a GP.
The Committee on Safety of Medicines has advised that all GP practices should avoid the long-term prescribing of the following medicines:
- Diazepam, Lorazepam, Loprazolam, Lormetazepam, Oxazepam, Nitrazepam, Temazepam, Zopiclone, Zolpidem, Zaleplon.
Please note that these tablets will now NO LONGER routinely be started by practices.
If you are already taking any of the above medicines then you may be invited for a review with your doctor to discuss a plan to step down or stop the medicine. If you would like any more information, please discuss with your doctor.
