Repeat Prescription
Each GP surgery or primary care practice will have its own procedure for repeat prescribing but the following rules are common to most, if not all. Patients who are well-known to the practice who have a stable condition like asthma, hypertension or diabetes could be allowed to get a repeat prescription for up to six months. Repeat prescriptions are never given to patients who are not known to the practice and there is probably a blanket ban on repeats for narcotics and other drugs that could be misused as doctors are expected to monitor these drugs carefully.
Please allow up to 48 hours for us to arrange your prescription. You can order your repeat prescription by contacting our team by phone at 09 278 2578 to arrange a repeat prescription or log in to your Patient Portal. Once your prescription is processed, you will receive a text message.
When a prescription request is declined, we will contact you directly via phone or text message to discuss the next steps.
For urgent requests, we recommend calling our team directly. We suggest keeping enough supplies to avoid disruptions while we try our best to fulfill your request.

Helpful Tips to Understand Virtual Consultations What is a virtual consultation?
Virtual Consultation refers to the practice of caring for patients remotely when the provider and patient are not physically present with each other.
To have a video consult, you will need a computer or laptop with a camera, a tablet or a smart phone. You will also need a good internet connection. You can use data, but WIFI will give you a better call quality. If you cannot make a video call, your doctor or nurse will talk to you on the phone.
We will advise you whether this option is available for your consult, or this option may be available to you via your online or phone booking system. If you have booked in for a video consult, your practice will provide you with a unique link to your provider’s online waiting room. If you have booked in for a phone consult, it is important you are contactable on the number provided at that time.
This is what you can do to make to make sure your virtual consult works best for you:
- Write down what you want to discuss and have a pen and paper available in case you need to write anything down.
- Consider your privacy – choose somewhere private where you can talk freely and safely. If others are present, let your health practitioner, you can also use the chat function.
- Hands-free devices offer a better call experience. If you are using a smartphone or tablet, find a way to prop it so you can move around freely
- Make sure there is no one else streaming information while you are having your consult (if someone is watching a video on the wi-fi network you are using, your video quality may poor)
- Visit the online waiting room 5-10 minutes before your appointment time, check in and test your audio and video. Your health practitioner will start the call when they are ready. 6. Check you are clear about instructions for medication, work certificates, blood or other tests, self-care advice at home, and warning signs you need to seek further care.
Your health practitioner can prescribe/ arrange medication in all consults. They will send your prescription to your local pharmacy. Pharmacies are open for you to go and collect your medications. Some pharmacies may have a delivery option available – check if your pharmacy has this option available.
The cost will be the same as if you were visiting your medical centre.
