How to get a prescription

pills1If you think you may need a prescription medicine, please make an appointment with the doctor. Our Clinical Pharmacists can also issue prescriptions for common ailments.  If you have previously been given a prescription for a straightforward condition, such as hay fever, we may be able to issue a prescription after a telephone consultation with a doctor. Please ask the receptionist.

How to get a repeat prescription

YOU CANNOT REQUEST A REPEAT PRESCRIPTION BY EMAIL

We have a computerised repeat prescription service. Repeat prescriptions are normally for patients with long-term conditions who receive regular treatment. Your doctor or Clinical Pharmacist will decide who can have a repeat prescription. From time to time we will ask you to see your doctor or Clinical Pharmacist to review your medication. We do this to monitor your illness and medication.

You can ask for a repeat prescription: by attending the surgery and completing a form when the reception is open or by post. Wherever possible please give the exact drug names when ordering. Please allow 72 hours for your prescription or if it is something not normally on your repeat list it may take longer.

We cannot take telephone requests for repeat prescriptions because of the possibility of error.
