Repeat Prescriptions
If you are taking regular medication we will give you a computer slip listing your medication. When you next require a prescription, either hand in your slip at reception marking the items you need, send it with a stamped addressed envelope and we will post the prescriptions to you or fax your request through on 832575. You may also order repeat prescriptions on-line - see below.
Please note we cannot accept telephone or verbal requests at the desk for repeat prescriptions .
Your prescription should be available after two working days (please take into account weekends and bank holidays). The doctor may request that you attend for an appointment before prescribing medication for the first time or where a course of medication has expired.
We will only give a repeat prescription to a representative of a patient where we are satisfied that the patient has given his or her consent for the representative to collect the prescription.
N.B.: Ladies requesting repeat prescriptions for the contraceptive pill - You need to attend the nurse for a blood pressure check before a repeat prescription can be issued. Please ring to make an appointment to see the nurse in good time so that you have a good selection of days and times to suit you. It is better not to leave this to the last minute. The nurse will issue your repeat prescription when you attend.
