HOW DO I... OBTAIN A REPEAT PRESCRIPTION?
Repeat prescriptions will be issued at the doctor’s discretion and are normally for patients on long-term treatment. Requests for prescriptions can be made by fax, in writing, by e-mail or by calling at the surgery during opening hours; please note we cannot accept prescription requests by telephone. We are unable to issue repeat prescriptions at weekends, public holidays or out of normal surgery hours. Please allow two working days before collection and make allowances for weekends and public holidays. You can collect your prescription at the Medical Centre Monday to Friday. We also have arrangements with local pharmacies that collect prescriptions from the practice on a daily basis, if you need more information regarding this service, ask at Reception. Where possible give exact drug names when ordering.
Repeat prescriptions can also be
ordered by using the request form below.
(If you misplace your request slip, please do not make an appointment; ask reception staff for a copy.)
Security note: Electronic transmissions on the Internet are not always secure
and theoretically it is possible for the details emailed from this form to be
intercepted by a third party. If you have any concerns, we advise you to use one
of the other methods detailed above.
