REPEAT PRESCRIPTIONS

Prescriptions may be issued for regular medication, which your doctor has authorised as a repeat item. Requests can be made in person at Reception, in writing, by post enclosing a stamped addressed envelope or by telephone between 2-4pm.

Repeat prescriptions will be processed and ready for collection within 48 hours (weekends and Bank Holidays excluded). Please ensure you order your repeat prescription in advance of running out of your medication to ensure treatment is continuous.

Requests for non-repeat/acute prescriptions will be passed to the nurse/doctor for attention. All patients on repeat medication will have their need for the medication reviewed annually. Some patients will be required to attend the Nurse or doctor.

Collection of Prescriptions
Prescriptions may be collected at surgery reception. The local pharmacies collect prescriptions directly from the surgery and patients will be asked at the time of ordering their prescriptions if they wish to use this service.

Prescriptions will be posted directly to patients on provision of a stamped addressed envelope.

Prescriptions will not normally be handed out to children.

Please allow 48 hours for repeat medications to be processed (excl. weekends and Bank Holidays). If you require medications earlier than due, please contact the surgery on 02887722621. Any acute medications will be subject to the GP's approval.
