Prescriptions

Prescriptions Update 

Due to the merger of Sunlight Group Practice and Dr Oates and Partners any patients who were registered with Dr Oates & Partners and had access to online access it is still available. Patients should log in using their old credentials and then relink their GP Practice and choose Sunlight Group Practice.

If you have tried this and you cannot access the service please press the “help using patient access button” or “Need technical help”. If they cannot help you please contact the practice to ensure your telephone and email address are correct.

If you have not previously registered for the system it is easy to set up and if you contact the practice they will give you the information required to set it up.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

If you are taking regular medication, you will be issued with a computer slip listing the drugs you are taking. When you need more medication you can:

• Hand the slip into reception.
• Post it along with a stamped address envelope.
• Order online via patient access online system; please contact reception for further details
• E-mail it to us on: cmicb-wi.prescriptionssunlight@nhs.net

Please allow two full working days for prescriptions to be processed and remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account.

Please note that we do not accept requests for repeat prescriptions over the telephone. Patients are also reminded to only order the drugs you need.

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip. Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.

If you require any further information regarding this or any other prescription issues then please feel free to call and speak to our Prescription Clerk from 11:30am to 3pm Monday – Friday, option 3 when ringing.
