Ordering of Repeat Medications

From 4th July 2016 we will no longer accept prescription requests from the Chemist.  You can only order medication by

1.  Placing your repeat medication slip in the box located in the waiting area

2.  Order online via our practice website at www.burnbankmedicalcentre.co.uk

3.  Telephoning our new prescription voicemail system 01698 456622 (available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week)

It is estimated that over £15 million pounds worth of prescribed medication in Scotland is wasted each year.  We all have a part to play in reducing this.

Preference of Practitioner

Patients are registered with the practice, not an individual GP.  For administrative reasons your medical card will be issued in the name of one of the doctors; however, you can at any time express a preference for a particular doctor for either all of your medical needs or on a case by case basis.  We will do our best to respect your choice. However, not all the doctors in the practice provide all services and specific doctors may not be immediately available.

Medical treatment is available from the date of registration. Please contact reception for further information.
