Repeat prescriptions
If you are on regular medication when you join the practice, you will need to see the GP for an initial appointment to set up a repeat prescription. Repeat prescriptions can be requested in writing or online via the website. We do not routinely accept telephone medication requests for safety reasons. Please allow 48 hours for us to process your request. Prescriptions can be sent electronically to the pharmacy of your choice.
Test results
Most blood test and X-ray results are back within 5 days but may take longer and the doctor will advise you when to phone reception for your results. Alternatively you can check online if you are registered for online services
Teaching and Training
Being involved in the training of future doctors and GPs is important to us at Kingston Health Centre. We have junior doctors and a GP specialist trainees in the practice.
Foundation Year 2 (F2) doctors are in their second year after qualifying and have a 4 month placement to gain experience of general practice. They work under the supervision of a GP and are able to see patients independently and prescribe medicines.
Specialty Trainee (ST) doctors are completing their specialist training to become GPs and at Kingston Health Centre for 6-12 months, supervised by a GP trainer. They are able to see patients independently and prescribe medicines.
Home Visits
If you are housebound or too ill to attend the practice you can be visited at home by one of the doctors or the local Rapid Response Team. Please try to phone before 10am and our receptionist will take your details. The doctor will call you back to discuss your symptoms before visiting. It is always preferable to try to come down to the practice if it is possible as we have better facilities and equipment and it is likely that you will be seen more quickly this way.
