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. 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.
You can now also order through the internet, inserting your details in the form at the foot of this page.
Please order your repeat items in time as patients who forget place undue pressures on the service that can affect the turn around 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 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 and Station Pharmacy if you request this on your form.
Prescriptions may be collected during surgery hours Monday to Friday (see below for collection times).
