Repeat Prescriptions

Patients who are on regular, long-term medication may order a repeat prescription without seeing the doctor.

48 hours notice is required to issue repeat prescriptions.

There are several ways to obtain your prescription:-

Online.
Bring it to the surgery and pop it into the box at the reception counter, (if you would like us to post it back to you, please include a a stamped addressed envelope).
Fax the details to us.
No telephone requests can be accepted. Requests should be made on the computerised prescription form where possible, failing that in writing or in person.
Those requiring prescriptions to be sent by post should include a stamped, self-addressed envelope.
By special arrangement the housebound may request repeat prescriptions over the telephone. Please phone between 2.00pm to 3.00pm on weekdays.

Nominating a pharmacy

You will need to choose a pharmacy to collect your prescription from. We call this nominating a pharmacy.

You can change your nominated pharmacy at any time:

Online, on the app or website where you order repeat prescriptions
At your GP practice
At any pharmacy that accepts repeat prescriptions

Medication reviews

If you have a repeat prescription, we may ask you to come in for a regular review. Please book a routine appointment for your review.

Questions about your prescription

If you have questions about your medicine or your prescription please contact the surgery.

Your local pharmacists can also answer any questions about your prescription. They can answer questions on medicines you can buy without a prescription.
