Prescription Requests
If you are requesting your repeat prescription, please allow at least 2 working days for us to prepare it. Once it’s ready, we’ll send it directly to your nominated pharmacy via email. Please make sure to include the name of your pharmacy in your request so that we can send the prescription to the correct place. You will receive a text message from us notifying you as soon as your prescription is sent to your nominated pharmacy.
Some medication can be repeated without seeing the doctor, however you may be asked to attend for a check-up if the doctor feels it is appropriate.
Test Results
Once we receive your test results, a doctor or nurse from our practice will contact you directly with the results. We will contact you via phone, text message, or email, depending on your preferred method of communication.
