All your medication is recorded
on our practice computer which
routinely checks for interactions
and allergies. If you are on regular
long-term medicine, you may be
issued with a computer order form
(repeat slip). The repeat slip lists
all the medicines that we are
happy to issue without your having
to see us. Please tick the box
beside JUST those that you need on
each occasion. Post or deposit the
computerised slip in the box
provided in the entrance porch at
Kiveton or the window at Harthill.
It takes TWO WORKING DAYS to
produce a new prescription (released
after 5pm) or dispense medication,
but we can sometimes rush this a
little if you explain the need to
reception. We usually issue a single
month's supply of medication in line
with NHS guidance so even if you are
on several different treatments it
should be possible for you to make a
single monthly request. Requests for
repeat medication should not be made
over the telephone as there is more
likelihood of a mistake with the
prescription.
Queries about routine medication can
be dealt with by our dispensing
staff at Harthill or by our
treatment room assistants Karen &
Jayne at Kiveton (leave a message
via Reception and they'll get back
to you, or come into surgery between
11.30-12.30 or 2.00-4.00 but please
don't just drop in out of these
hours hoping they'll be free unless
it is very urgent).
Dispensing Patients
If you live more than a mile from a
chemist, you may obtain your
medicines from our dispensary at
Harthill. This generally means
patients who live in Harthill,
Woodall, Thorpe Salvin and Kiveton
Park Station. Unless you request
otherwise we will issue the relevant
medicines rather than a prescription
if you have seen the doctor at the
Harthill Surgery.
Medication Reviews
The doctors regularly review the
records of patients on long-term
medication so don’t be alarmed if
you are asked to make an appointment
to discuss your treatment. You might
also be asked to attend for routine
blood tests, in which case the
relevant form should be with the
request letter.
