Patients attending Skreen Family Practice require a consultation, once their issued prescription expires. This should be arranged as soon as you have received the final issue of your prescription from your pharmacist.

If you have run unexpectedly short of a medication which is prescribed repeatedly, you may request a prescription to keep you going.

However, Skreen Family Practice now operates a policy of accepting such prescription requests in written form only.

This policy is in place to:

• Ensure maximum patient safety.

• Ensure that patients are aware of the medications they are requesting.

• Reduce the risk of prescribing of unnecessary medications.

• Ensure accurate records of patient medication requests are retained.

• Minimise human error.

​

We aim to have all prescription requests reviewed within 2 working days. We will now be sending all prescriptions directly to the pharmacy via email. 

Please check with the pharmacy when your prescription will be ready for collection.
