Please do not expect a response when the clinic is closed (Thurs/Fri/weekends/ annual leave).

*Prescription requests that do not incorporate points 1-7 above will result in delays.

Urgent prescription requests cannot be catered for (please do not request same).

When re-ordering prescriptions, please check with your pharmacist when your prescription will run out and contact well in advance, being mindful of the days the clinic is open and annual leave arrangements.

ADHD medication (controlled medication): If your child is on an ongoing medication dose, the maximum amount allowed on one prescription is 3 instalments (equivalent to 3 months). Due to the rules governing the issuing of controlled medication prescriptions, to ensure all three instalments of the medication are supplied by the pharmacy, you must collect (rather than hand in) Instalment 1 on the date of the prescription. Instalment 2 and 3 must be collected on Day 30 and Day 60 of the date of the prescription respectively. Discuss this with your pharmacist to ensure clarity. Note the dates and plan your prescription request in good time accordingly.

Should you require a prescription, you must complete all the details in this form.
