Repeat Prescriptions

Patients on long-term medication can request a repeat prescription by using the repeat slip attached to their previous prescription. Please tick the items required and either:

• Hand your slip in to the surgery.
• Post it with a stamped address envelope if you wish it returned to you by post. 
• Phone the practice on 01236 766983 our automated service is available 7 days per week 24 hours per day.
• Use the repeat prescription services provided by your local chemist.

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip. Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.

Please allow 24 hours for prescriptions to be processed and remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account. Patients using the postal service should allow longer.

Please allow at least 24 hours, excluding weekends and Bank Holidays, for your request to be processed. Any problems please telephone the surgery.

Special Request

Medication which you use on an infrequent basis or is not on your repeat medication list is classed as a special request. You can request this by telephoning the surgery and speaking with one of our reception staff.  

You will be asked to call back later that day or the next day depending when you contact us.  You will be advised if your prescription has been issued or if you require an appointment with one of our GP's, Practice Nurse or directed to another service.
