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 that new registrations for Patient Access is currently closed, until the practice migrates to a new clinical system (June 2026). Other methods to order repeat prescriptions can be used until such time. **
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
Please allow up to 4 working days for prescription request to be processed.. Requests are checked thoroughly and may be denied if ordered too early.
Prescription requests made more than 10 days in advance will not be granted. Please ensure you order in sufficient time, to avoid running out.
You may be asked to attend the surgery for a review of your medication.
Please be aware that some items maybe need further authorisation from a GP/Pharmacist, we therefore ask that you wait 4 working days before going to your designated pharmacy for collection of all medication.
