Repeat Prescriptions
Please allow 48 hours' notice when requesting a repeat prescription
Medication Reviews
You may be asked to see the doctor for review of your medication at least once a year. The medication review is a very important part of repeat prescribing as medications are changed by different healthcare professionals during the course of medical interventions. The practice regards this seriously and, on occasions, medications will be prescribed only for short period(s) until you have seen the doctor and all the medications are authorized by them.
IT IS THE PATIENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT MEDICATION IS ORDERED IN GOOD TIME.
Brand Prescribing
As part of repeat prescribing, the practice accepts the guidelines established by Cwm Taff Health Board which involves generic prescribing. Brand prescribing will not be used by this surgery except only for drugs which are approved of by Cwm Taff Morgannwg Health Board. Since April 2022 Cwmaman Surgery has followed guidelines in changing monthly prescriptions to two monthly, some patients may not be suitable for this service.
