Prescriptions

Order Your Repeat Prescription Online

Your repeat prescription may be renewed without necessarily seeing the doctor.  Requests for prescriptions can be made on your local surgery’s prescription line answering machine:

Aultbea: 01445 731599

Gairloch: 01445 712358

Patients may also use the link on our home page to submit electronic repeat prescription requests via our online patient services webpage. If you are not already registered for this service patients can do so by contacting their local surgery.

Requests are processed every working day. Patients should allow a minimum of 2 working days to collect their signed prescription. It may take longer than this for items to be dispensed and available for collection from the local pharmacy.

Please note – non-repeat items, i.e. those for which you do not have a valid re-order form, may require you to have an appointment before they can be reissued and will therefore take longer before they are available for collection. Any valid repeat items must be reviewed at least once a year.

Dispensing Medication

This practice was a dispensing practice up to 18 November 2011. Previously prescriptions of all commonly used drugs were made up in the dispensary on surgery premises. That is no longer the case.

The nearest pharmacies are in Gairloch, Ullapool, Dingwall or Kyle. The Gairloch Pharmacy will offer to pick up signed prescriptions and dispense them ready for collection.

Patients always retain the choice to collect their signed prescriptions from either surgery site and then take them to the pharmacy of their choice for dispensing.

Please let your local surgery know your preference for collecting your dispensed medication:

Please choose 1 of 2 options:
1. Order your medication from the Surgery and collect it in person from Gairloch Pharmacy
2. Collect your signed prescription from the surgery and take it to the pharmacy of your choice for dispensing
