A SHS doctor writes a prescription
When a doctor decides during a consultation to prescribe medication for you, issuing the prescription is included in the consultation fee. You should take the prescription to be filled at any Pharmacy, you will be charged at the Pharmacy for the medication/s prescribed.
A outside doctor or consultant has written the prescription
If you are taking medication prescribed elsewhere and wish to renew that prescription you must have a consultation with a doctor in SHS who will advise if this is possible and if any other steps are necessary before issuing the prescription. There is a 30 euro consultation charge for this. There may be additional charges if other checks such as blood pressure or blood tests are needed. Please note, not all requests will be feasible but the team endeavour to facilitate these prescriptions where possible.
