Repeat Prescriptions

We provide all patients who take regular medication with a repeat prescription list. This should be an accurate, up to date list of all medicines taken regularly, if there are any errors, please tell us. 

  1.  We cannot accept requests for repeat prescriptions over the telephone.
  2. We are not a dispensing practice.
  3. To request a repeat prescription
  • Mark the items required on the list and put in the Repat Prescription Deposit Box in the porch at the surgery.
  • By e-mail to sully.surgery@wales.nhs.uk. This can on;y be used for items listed on your repeat slip which are due for issue and must include the name, dose and quantity of each medication requested.
  • Register for the NHS Wales App, this can be downloaded from Google Play or the App Store.  Find out more at NHS Wales.
  • Several local pharmacies also,provide a collection and delivery service which they advertise locally. Please contact them directly if you would like to arrange this.
  •  We also use the electronic prescription service with several local pharmacies. Currently this includes Sully Pharmacy, M W Phillips (Vere Street Barry) and Boots (Penarth and Barry).  Prescriptions are sent directly to the pharmacy for collection. If you would like to take advantage of this service it can be arranged with your chosen pharmacy.  this allows you to make sure the services they offer are those your require, eg opening hours and/or home deliveries.

4. Routine repeat prescriptions are usually available after 48 hours                                                     

IMPORTANT NOTES:

a) This applies to routine requests for medication already included on your repeat request slip or requested using the NHS Wales App.

b) Amending or not using your repeat request slip or the NHS Wales App may cause a delay in your new prescription being issued.

c) This timescale is an aim, not a guarantee, so please request your medication in plenty of time.

d)  If you need your medication early for any reason, eg if you are going away on holiday, please write a note of explanation on the bottom of your request slip.  Please give plenty of notice as this is no longer a routine request.

5. If you would like us to post the prescription back to you please supply a stamped addressed envelope.
