Please use the tear off strip on the computerised prescription, carefully tick the items required and either drop it in to the surgery or post it to us. If you want us to post it back to you please remember to enclose a stamped addressed envelope.

Alternatively you can arrange with your Pharmacist to organise your repeat prescription for you.

Please allow 72 working hours for prescriptions to be processed (this does not include weekends or bank holidays).

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor 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.
