Repeat Prescriptions
Repeat prescriptions are those drugs that appear on the list of medicines on the right hand side of your last prescription. Any drug not on this list can be requested but may take longer or may be refused if the doctor feels it cannot safely be prescribed from details within your medical record.
To order a prescription please tick the box next to each item required on the re-order form that is supplied along with your prescription. If the item is not on this list then please add to this slip or alternatively make a request in writing. Slips and written requests should be posted in the “Polmont Park Repeat Prescriptions” box at the Main Entrance.
Alternatively you can follow the link on this page to the secure online form. You will need to carry out the simple, one-off registration. Please note you can now use Patient Access to request prescriptions as we will be phasing out the main website method. To register for Patient Access please attend reception with photo ID, this is required as it allows some access to your medical records. Please note online requests posted over the weekend will not be processed until the next working day.
We now also have an email address for ordering prescriptions:
fv.prescriptionspolmontpark@nhs.scot
Please ensure your name and date of birth are on the email along with a list of the medications you require, and which pharmacy you wish to collect from.
Collections
Repeat requests will be ready after 4 working days. Requests are checked thoroughly and may be denied if made too early.
Prescription requests made 10 days or more early are unlikely to be granted unless a reason is given (i.e. if you need medication sooner for example due to holiday) then please let us know. If your medication is ordered too early there is no facility for us to let you know if your request has not been issued
You may be asked to attend the surgery on occasions for a review of your medication. Please be aware 'repeat prescriptions' may be ready sooner than 'extras' so please check when you pick up that you have everything.
