Repeat Prescriptions
Overview
Many of us have been there before. Our hayfever, asthma, dry eyes or another chronic condition acts up and forces us to go to the doctor. We go to the pharmacist, get the prescription and say goodbye to our symptoms. Then, in weeks or months it happens again and the process repeats.
​
In fact, nearly half of the UK’s working population have long-term chronic conditions that require them to take medicine on a regular basis for an extended period of time. But it doesn’t have to be like this. Here at South London Private GP we offer repeat prescriptions for our patients to save you time, money and hassle. We believe prescriptions should be simple, straightforward and able to be ordered in the comfort of your own home.
​
You can request your prescriptions online with us and within days have the prescribed medicine delivered straight to your door. Many of our patients find this a useful and quick way to get their prescriptions. You can also pick up your prescription from nearest pharmacist wherever you are.
​
Better yet, by doing it online with us you’ll ensure your prescriptions are accurate and there will be no manual errors. There will also be an order history so everything is tracked.
We also do setup and continuity of repeat NHS prescriptions to accommodate you.
