Request Prescription
This service allows you to request your repeat
prescription online, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Please note: You will no longer receive an e-mail
receipt....please read below for further information.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Regular users of this service will have noticed that we
have changed the way in which you request your prescriptions
online. This change was highlighted on our blog (link)
Why have we changed?
We have decided, due to the popularity of this feature,
to go a step further and implement 256bit encryption on the
service. This means that your data is encrypted when you use
this feature.
Why do I no longer receive an e-mail receipt?
Sending an e-mail receipt would invalidate our attempts
to provide a secure service, as an e-mail would be sent
insecurely across the internet.
Instead of an e-mail confirmation, you now get a
printable confirmation once you have submitted your request.
This printable page details your name, drugs requested and
the time and date of the request, along with a unique
reference number.
This is essentially the same as sending you an e-mail
receipt, however, this way, your security is not
compromised.
So what benefits does it offer me?
The new system offers the aforementioned encryption
feature. We have also taken previous comments on board, and
now allow patients to request as many separate drugs as they
need, without having to fill the form in a second time to
finish their request. You can now click "add another drug"
on the request form, and keep doing so until you have
completed your request.
Is the system essentially the same?
Yes, the system is essentially the same. We still ask for
the same information in order to process your request.
So why have you changed? Did something go wrong?
It is important to note that we have not changed because
there was a problem with our old system. We are just
proactively implementing a more secure service, as promised
we would do if the old system was popular enough to warrant
the financial outlay. The repeat prescription ordering
service is highly popular, and therefore, have carried out
our promise to take it a step further.
Who are Practice Support?
Practice Support is owned by GR Design, the provider of this
website. We aim to offer a more tailored set of services
through Practice Support, than we intended to through GR
Design.
