Repeat Prescriptions
You can also ask for a prescription to be sent to a local chemist - please check with the surgery which chemists provide this service before using this option for the first time. This is for Repeat Prescriptions or items already agreed with the Practice
The order usually takes two working days to process. If you need a prescription more quickly than two workings days then DO NOT use this service
We operate a repeat prescription system. On each computerised prescription is a tear-off counterfoil detailing items that can be prescribed for repeated use. You should return this to the surgery (with a SAE if you wish it to be posted to you). Indicate by ticking which items you require.
Repeat prescriptions are for medicines already agreed with the doctor. If you have not had a medicine from us before, you must see the doctor. You can choose whether to collect your prescription from the surgery or from the local chemist.
The practice does not issue a variety of medicines, such as pain killers, as repeat items and they must be specifically requested on each occasion. This allows us to monitor these more closely. To avoid mistakes, we are not able to deal with repeat prescriptions over the telephone.
