HOW
DO I....
OBTAIN
REPEAT PRESCRIPTIONS?
These can be requested between
10.00am and 4.00pm each day. Patients can request them over the telephone,
by depositing their repeat order slip at the surgery, by email (gp.602@oakleaf.gp.n-i.nhs.uk)
or by written request. In all cases 24 hours’ notice must be given.
Generic Prescribing
The practice has adopted the policy of generic prescribing. In some
cases the medicine you receive on prescription will remain as before,
but it is possible that there will be a change or an alteration in the
size and shape of the tablets/capsules. The doctors would like to reassure
all patients that the generic substitution has the same biological properties,
efficiency, safety and quality as branded medicines. If there are any
difficulties with your prescription, please let us know.
HOW
DO I...
OBTAIN MEDICAL OR FITNESS TO WORK CERTIFICATES?
A patient does not require a doctor's "sick line" for
the first week of any illness. If necessary, a self-certificate may
be completed to cover for this period. These are available at the reception
desk. If a patient remains unable to work for more than seven days,
a doctor's "sick line" will be required. Please make an appointment
for this.
