Please use the available request form (right) or email prescriptions@bedfordmedicalcentre.ie to order your repeat prescriptions. Two days notice is required.
Please also note that the Irish College of General Practitioners and the Medical Council advise GP’s to regularly review patients using repeat prescriptions.
Ordinarily, you should see the GP at a minimum of once per year to renew the prescription.
If the prescribing GP notices that you have not attended, your request may be declined, provided for a shorter period than expected and you may receive a message with your prescription advising that you make an appointment.
Please do not use the repeat prescribing service to order one-off items. These requests will be declined. You should talk to the GP about such requirements. The repeat prescription service is to facilitate your supply of stable, agreed medications only.
Due to Covid-19 all prescriptions are being sent directly by secure email to pharmacies. Please always indicate on your request, which pharmacists should receive the prescription. For private patients, please note that the prescription charge remains.Repeat prescriptions should be requested 48 hours prior to collection. Prescriptions are only available after 14:30 on ther second day after they are requested.
Patients on repeat medication should ensure medications are accurately recorded by discussing any changes with the doctors during a consultation.
Please ask the GP or Nurse to explain the purpose of each of your medicines. We will be happy to supply you with a list of your current repeat drugs and to add or remove items when you consult the GP or Nurse Practitioner.
If a doctor elsewhere has prescribed a new medicine for you and you need to have it issued on a medical card prescription, we will facilitate an urgent request if you telephone and give us the original prescription.
Many pharmacists can provide several days emergency supply, while you wait for us to prepare your new prescription
Repeat prescriptions can be requested in the following ways:
Please make sure to include patients full name, date of birth, address and for each drug the name, the dose and the number of times per day.
