Prescriptions

Ordering repeat prescriptions

There are various ways in which you can order your repeat prescription.

Please allow 48 hours (two working days) for prescriptions to be processed and signed before collection. Please remember to reorder your medication early when Bank Holidays are coming up.

If you wish your prescription to be posted back to your home please enclose a stamped addressed envelope. If using this method please allow at least one week to allow for postage delays.

You are advised to have your repeat medication reviewed at least every 12 months.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are a new patient to our surgery and you take regular medications then you must be seen by a Doctor for your first prescription.
