How Do I....
Obtain A Repeat Prescription?
Patients on regular medication may receive computerised repeat prescription forms. When you have only one week’s supply left, send or bring your form to the surgery, having marked those items you require. Please allow two working days before collecting your prescription. Prescriptions can be sent to you if you provide a stamped addressed envelope.
YOU MAY WISH TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR YOUR PRESCRIPTION TO BE COLLECTED AND DISPENSED BY:
Haslams, 105 Wokingham Road, Reading - Green Road surgery
Boots, 89 Crockhamwell Road, Woodley - Woodley Park surgery
Lloyds, 55a/55b Crockhamwell Road, Woodley - Woodley Park surgery
Prescription requests cannot be accepted over the telephone because of the possibility of errors being made.
Sickness Certificates
You are responsible for signing yourself unfit for the first 7 days of any illness using the form SCl or SC2 - obtainable from the surgery reception, post office or your employer. After this a form Med3 may be issued by your doctor but only after a consultation.
If you have been a hospital in-patient please obtain your certificate before you leave the ward.
Private Prescriptions
Patients who see a specialist privately are advised that under DSS regulations, they will be liable, at least initially, for their prescription costs.
Private prescriptions will also be issued for certain travel vaccination requirements.
THIS FORM IS CURRENTLY DISABLED - PLEASE USE ONE OF THE ALTERNATIVE METHODS MENTIONED ABOVE TO REQUEST PRESCRIPTIONS.
Please refer to the information above for prescription requests.
