Requests for repeat prescriptions must be ordered by the patient themselves. Third party ordering from Pharmacies has now been stopped by the CCG except in exceptional circumstances.

Please put your request in writing and allow 48-72  hours for this to be processed. We do not take prescription requests over the phone. However you can order in person at the surgery, online or by post.

For repeat prescriptions to be ordered on the internet you will need a password from reception first.

Once your prescription is ready we recommend that you have them sent to a nominated pharmacy by electronic transfer.

Some pharmacies offer a delivery service if required please speak to your local pharmacy.

.

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 two full working days for prescriptions to be processed and remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account.
