Prescription Review and Repeat Prescriptions
Prescriptions can only be raised by Dr Whitelaw on review/evaluation of patient notes and we therefore suggest notice of at least 10 working days before any existing medication is due to run out.
This service is only available to those requiring medication to take them up to their next scheduled Review Consultation. If a consultation is due or requested by Dr Whitelaw an appointment will need to be made before your prescription is raised. Please note that review consultations are required every six months normally. In some instances the doctor may agree to a Prescription Review and prescribe based on the information provided, for which there is charge of £55 and a new Review Consultation date will be set. Please note that as per usual, this fee is for Dr Whitelaw’s services and does not include the cost of medication.
Please note that failure to provide the specific details requested may delay processing your request.
IMPORTANT! You MUST mention in the summary/notes box any change in your medical condition and/or recent visits to your doctor plus any change in symptoms or other factors you feel relevant to the medication you are requesting.
