For patients on regular medication, requests for repeat medication can be made in person, by fax, by post or online.
We regret we are unable to take request for repeat prescriptions over the phone as this can be unsafe.
Many of our local pharmacists can arrange for a repeat prescription collection service.
You may find it more convenient for your prescription to be sent electronically to a pharmacist of your choice.
Please see below for further details.
We process hundreds of prescriptions each day, and it is important that we operate a robust process that avoids the potential for error. Each prescription is a legal document, and therefore each prescription needs to be accurate, and checked by a GP before it is signed. For these reasons, it takes two working days from the date of your initial request for us to issue your repeat prescription.
The doctor will need to review you and your medication at regular intervals. You may be asked to make an appointment before a further prescription can be issued
For your own safety we are unable to accept requests over the phone and only medicine authorised by a doctor at this surgery can be given as a repeat prescription.
