If the doctor wishes you to have a further supply of medication without being seen, they will give you a repeat prescription slip. The items that you need should be ticked and the slip placed in the repeat prescribing box at the side of reception. Alternatively, you can post this to us or order online.
The practice normally requires 7 working days’ notice for this service.
Please allow 7 days now when ordering you day repeat medication. The Surgery needs time to review, prepare and sign the prescription before sending this to the Pharmacy. The Pharmacy may need to order in some medication if they are out of stock. Please do not wait until you run out of medication to order as we cannot guarantee that a prescription is ready for collection on the same day.
PLEASE NOTE: WE DO NOT TAKE REPEAT PRESCRIPTIONS BY TELEPHONE.
You do not need to call in or telephone the Surgery to order your repeat medication.
