Repeat Prescriptions
Patients on long-term medication can order repeat prescriptions in a number of ways:
- By Hand – drop your repeat slip in at reception with the required items clearly marked.
- By Post – send it to us with a stamped addressed envelope if you want us to post it back to you.
Please note the staff are instructed not to accept requests by telephone as mistakes can be made.
Pharmacies
To make things easier when collecting prescriptions we are able to arrange for chemist’s to collect prescriptions on behalf of patients. Therefore patients only have to collect prescriptions from the pharmacy of their choice.
Not all pharmacies collect from the surgery on a daily basis so please speak to the reception staff for the details of your preferred pharmacy.
The only pharmacy we do not use is Tesco as they are unable to collect prescriptions from the surgery.
Please note as most pharmacies collect from us on a daily basis we do not fax prescriptions except in cases of emergency.
Medication Reviews
Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see either a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications.
Please allow two full working days between requesting and collecting your medication.
