REPEAT PRESCRIPTIONS

You can order your repeat prescriptions online.  Please allow 48 hours, excluding weekends and Bank Holidays, for your request to be processed.

Alternatively you can use the right side of your computerised prescription to reorder your drugs.  This is achieved by ticking the name of the appropriate drug and then posting or handing it in to the Surgery.  If you have mislaid your reorder form you can give us a written message including your Name, Address, D.O.B. and a list of the drugs you require.

We prefer not to accept requests for repeat prescriptions on the telephone as this increases the risk of mistakes occuring and can block more urgent incoming calls.  48 hours notice is usually required for repeat prescriptions.  If necessary your prescription can be sent to a local chemist.
