Answers:
Any pharmacy will honour your prescription.
I'm not sure what you mean, do you mean that you actually get your medicine from the uni surgery, or do you get your medicine from an actual chemist? If its a chemist, your details should be on the computer, and chemists will sometimes let you have the item and you give them the prescription after you have picked it up from the surgery, they are obliged to do this if the surgery is closed (as is yours)
you may need to register with the practice before they can print you off a script. there are 2 types of registration
1) permanant
2) temporary resident (up to 3/12)
once you are on the system you wil be able to get your prescriptions no problem. However - depending on your medication you may need to be seen by a dr or a nurse first before you get the first prescription.
Not unless its an actual perscription and signed by your GP. If its the other half that entitles to you request a repeat perscription it can only be issued by the doctor- you can take it into the chemist and explain to them and they will see if they can get your doctors permission to release a signature.
I would imagine you could register at a local surgery if you explained that the uni surgery is closed for summer. You obviously need the medication as it is a repeat prescription so I cannot see them refusing you this service. Good luck.
