HOW DO I....?
...Obtain A Repeat Prescription?
Repeat prescriptions will be issued at the doctors' discretion and are normally for patients on long-term treatment. Repeat prescriptions can be ordered by:
1. sending your request on the computer counterfoil with a self-addressed envelope
2. calling into the surgery and leaving your request in the box provided
3. telephoning between 9.00am and 2.00pm on 407200
4. Using the Online Repeat Prescription Form Below
Please allow 48 hours (two working days) for prescriptions to be processed and signed before collecting. It helps if you order your prescription two or three days before you run out of medication. We advise that you have your repeat medication reviewed once a year by your doctor. Please do not ask the doctor for a repeat prescription for other members of the family or friends when you are in with the doctor.
