• Minimise human error
All repeat prescription requests are dealt with on a 48 hours notice basis.
Where necessary patients may be requested to attend their GP where their medication/condition needs to be reviewed or discussed in person.
We encourage our patients to closely monitor their prescriptions and medication so that they can be refilled on time. If a patient is in need of an urgent prescription for any reason, they should contact Annagh Medical Centre immediately.
It is the patients responsibility to ensure they manage their prescriptions and to ensure they are renewed at the appropriate time. Please note we aim to provide a three to six monthly prescription at a time for all medications unless monthly restrictions apply.
