HOW DO I....Obtain A Repeat Prescription?
By arrangement with your doctor, you may obtain repeat prescriptions using the tear-off portion of your prescription form. Please retain this form for future use; doing so will speed up the process for both you and the surgery. If you prefer, you may order direct by completing the form below. The form may be either handed in at the surgery or posted to the surgery. In all cases a written request will be required. Please do not make an appointment for a repeat prescription or ask for a repeat prescription during a consultation with a doctor as this wastes valuable time.
Please order your repeat items in time. Patients who forget to do so place undue pressures on the service that can affect the turnround for other patients.
You will need to order early if your prescription is due during a Bank Holiday period or if you are going away on holiday. Please specify the reason why you are ordering early when you place your repeat request.
Prescriptions issued by a hospital should be dispensed at the hospital. If you wish to have the item dealt with at the practice you must give us the usual 48 hours' notice.
Please allow two working days for collection of prescriptions and do refer to the notice in the surgery for specific times. Prescriptions will be posted back to you if you provide a stamped addressed envelope. They will also be collected by Boots, Lloyds They will also be collected by Boots, Lloyds, Station, Hall & Stevens Pharmacy, Green Cross, Knights, Orford and Thomas Browns pharmacies if you request this on your form.
