Likely not: This is an emergency service not meant to do the functions of a GP. We are not allowed to proscribe chronic medications except for exceptional circumstances.

Well: If in Waikato area we can do a virtual consult after-hours but our main role is urgent issues. Outside this area you'll need to do the traditional way through the GP or urgent care clinic. As a rule we don't prescribe repeat medications as we have no way of safely reviewing you and this is an important part of repeat scripts which should be done by your GP.
