Repeat Prescriptions

Repeat prescriptions can be requested from your usual practice by telephone. Our Port Ellen and Rhinns sites are dispensing practices so prescriptions can be collected directly from the practice. Bowmore patients can collect prescriptions from Islay Pharmacy in Bowmore. Patients from all sites can request to have their prescriptions issued from Islay Pharmacy if this is more convenient or geographically easier.

When telephoning for repeat precriptions, please ensure to order only what you need in order to reduce waste and medication overuse. If you require a medication that you have had before but is not on repeat prescription, please request this via reception - they will send the request through to one of the GPs, ANP or clinical pharmacist who will action it accordingly. You will then be contacted by reception if anything else is required (more information, telephone review etc).

Please allow 48 hours (2 working days) for routine prescriptions to be ready.

Islay Pharmacy can request repeat prescriptions on your behalf - please ask in store about this. Islay Pharmacy has its own website which can be found here.
