Prescriptions

 

We are pleased to announce that you can now access health services from Meddygfa Canna Surgery on the new NHS Wales App. The App is a simple and secure way to: book routine appointments, order repeats and view parts of your medical record. To access the App you must have a fully verified NHS Login, or a valid photo ID to prove who you are and be aged 16 or over. Download the App today or use the desktop web version available. Find out more at:

Login page Login screen (nhs.wales)

Help page NHS login - NHS Wales App

You can use the QR code below also.

If you are asking for your prescription to be posted back to you, you must enclose a stamped addressed envelope.  You should also bear in mind postal time-frames.

You can also order your repeat medication by completing the slip attached to your prescription and delivering it to the surgery.  It can be posted in the locked prescription deposit box on the wall to the left of the main doors (during normal working hours).  DO NOT USE THE NORMAL LETTERBOX FOR REPEAT PRESCRIPTION REQUESTS AS THIS IS NOT A SECURE METHOD.

Many community pharmacies offer ordering and collection services which you are able to use if you wish.  They should confirm with you each month which medication you require and can then order and collect it on your behalf.  Contact your local pharmacy to ask if they offer this service.  We are encouraging patients to order through their pharmacy to avoid them attending the surgery unless it is absolutely necessary.

Other Prescription Requests

If you wish to order medication that is not on your repeat list or you do not have access or wish to use the NHS Wales App, you can use the other prescription form using this link. 

Other Prescription Request Form
