Haydock Medical Centre
Requesting prescriptions
​
You can request repeat prescriptions in writing or by using Patient Access.
​
​
If you require log in details for patient access, contact reception
​
Unfortunately, NHS regulations don't allow us to routinely take repeat medication requests over the phone. If you aren't yet registered for patient access, you can use this online form.
​
We ask for a minimum of 2 working days to process repeat medication requests.
We usually receive about 500 requests each day, so there is a lot of work being done by our clinical pharmacists checking prescriptions behind the scenes.
Requests for urgent prescriptions are dealt with individually by the duty GP - we'll take account of the circumstances and aim to deal with these in an appropriate time frame according to the urgency.
​
We now issue almost all prescriptions electronically, directly to pharmacies. You can nominate a pharmacy yourself, using Patient Access, or let us know the chemist that you want your prescriptions sent to.
