Repeat dispensing is the process by which patients can obtain supplies of their repeat medicines over a defined period of time from a pharmacy of their choice, without the need to contact their GP practice on each occasion a new supply is needed.

Currently this service is only available from GP practices and Community Pharmacies that have been trained to provide the service.For further information please contact HSC Board Prescribing Teams or Pharmacy Directorates.
