Repeat Prescriptions

Patients on a regular medication will require repeat prescriptions and for a safer and speedier service, repeat prescriptions are computerised.

Your doctor will have entered onto the computer what medication you are taking and each time a new prescription is produced by the computer, a new form is also generated for you to make your next request.

Requests for repeat prescriptions are not taken over the telephone, for medico-legal reasons, as errors can occur in verbal communication.

Allow 48 working hours for your prescription to be processed. (If handed in on Friday, it may not be ready until Tuesday afternoon).

If you have more than one repeat prescription, please try and order all your items together.

Either deliver, post or fax your Repeat Prescription form to the surgery or you can email your request.

If you are receiving any medication which is not on your request form, do not add to your request slip, but write a note to your GP, this will then be added to your prescription after verification.

All the local pharmacies offer a prescription collection service. Please ask for details.
