Important points to note:

• Please note that Patient Access can be used only for requesting repeat prescriptions, not acute or one-off medications
• Acute medication is for information only (if more is required, contact your practice). 
• Repeat dispensing items (when a clinician has, for example, authorised 10 issues of medication over 10 months) should be collected direct from your nominated pharmacy at the appropriate intervals. Only when the number of authorised issues has expired (for example, all 10 issues have been collected), should you contact your practice direct for further guidance. These items should not be requested through Patient Access.
