At Walker Street Doctors North Sydney, we understand that our patients lead busy lives and sometimes need medical assistance while on the go. That's why we're excited to highlight our online service that makes managing your healthcare easier than ever - the HotDoc repeat script and referrals request feature!
What is the HotDoc Repeat Script and Referrals Feature?
This convenient online tool allows you to request repeat prescriptions and referrals without needing to book an appointment. It's perfect for:
- Patients who need a repeat of their regular medication
- Those who are travelling and have forgotten their prescriptions
- Patients with well-controlled conditions whose prescription needs don't align with their regular chronic condition management appointments
- Anyone needing a repeat referral for ongoing specialist care
How to Use This Time-Saving Feature
Step 1: Visit Our Website or Use the HotDoc App
Simply visit the Walker Street Doctors website or open your HotDoc app on your smartphone.
Step 2: Select "Repeat Script/Referral Request"
Look for the "Repeat Script/Referral Request" button on our online booking page.
Step 3: Complete Your Request
Fill in the simple form with:
- Which medication or referral you need
- Any relevant details about your request
Step 4: Submit and Wait for Confirmation
After submitting, you'll receive a confirmation email from HotDoc. Your doctor will review your request and determine if it's appropriate to provide without an appointment.
Step 5: Receive Your Prescription or Referral
Once approved, your prescription will be SMS direct to your mobile phone or your referral will be prepared and emailed to you and/or directly to the specialist at your request.
Perfect for Travellers and Busy Professionals
This service is especially valuable if you:
- Are travelling and realise you've forgotten your regular medication
- Have a well-controlled chronic condition but your prescriptions have run out before your next scheduled appointment
- Need a repeat referral for ongoing specialist care
- Are simply too busy to come in for a full appointment for a straightforward prescription renewal
When to Use This Service vs. Booking an Appointment
The repeat script and referrals service is ideal for:
- Medications you take regularly without recent changes
- Conditions that are stable and well-controlled
- Referrals that are being renewed without significant changes
You should still book an appointment if:
- Your condition has changed or worsened
- Your referral is for a mental health care plan
- You're experiencing new symptoms
- You need a new medication or referral rather than a repeat
