📄 Repeat Prescription Guidelines – Please Read Carefully 💊 and please share widely!

To help your repeat prescriptions run smoothly and avoid delays, please follow the guidance below 👇

🔄 How the process works:

🏥 Nominate your chosen pharmacy for collection and make sure this is recorded on your medical record
📱 Consider signing up for text message notifications from your nominated pharmacy
💻 Order repeat prescriptions online via Patient Access (details available from reception)
✍️ Alternatively, leave a written request in the post box at the front door
⏳ Please allow 2 working days for the surgery to issue your prescription
🚚 Your nominated pharmacy will then collect the prescription and will need additional time to process and dispense it

⚠️ Important information:

⏱️ If your prescription has not been dispensed within 3 working days of your request, please check with your pharmacy first
🔍 The surgery can only begin investigating missing prescriptions after 3 working days from the date of request

🙏 Thank you for your cooperation. Following this process helps us provide a safe and efficient service for all patients.

The Surgery, Newtownards - Job Vacancies

15/01/2026

The NI childhood immunisation schedule is changing giving even better protection with the introduction of the varicella (chickenpox) vaccine.

From January 2026, eligible children will be offered a combined vaccine for measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (MMRV) - as part of the routine infant vaccination schedule.

As with other childhood immunisations, parents will be contacted by their GP surgery to arrange an appointment if their child is eligible. If you are unsure if your child is up to date with vaccinations the easiest way to check is to look at your child’s red book or speak to your health visitor or GP.
