The easiest way to order repeat prescriptions is using the GP online system Patient Access

The account shows you all your repeat medicine and dosage and you can choose the ones you need.

You can also: 

• Post the re-order form back to the practice or
• email the practice at fv.gp25224douneadm@nhs.scot
• Place the re-order form in the letter box at the practice, at Thornhill Grocery Shop, Deanston Post Office or Woodside Pharmacy, Doune

We do not take repeat prescription requests over the phone.

All prescriptions will automatically be sent to Woodside Pharmacy, Doune for dispensing unless you indicate otherwise on the re-order form.  If you wish the prescription to be posted back to you, or to another pharmacy please enclose a stamped addressed envelope.

You can usually collect your prescription from Woodside Pharmacy 2 to 3 working days after you have ordered it.

If you would like to collect your prescription from the surgery please inform us at time or reordering.

If you have a long term condition and require regular medication you can register with your pharmacy for long term prescriptions prescriptions (also known as serial prescriptions) and the pharmacy will then dispense these at 8 weekly intervals without the need to order your prescription online or at the surgery.
