HOW DO I...
OBTAIN A REPEAT PRESCRIPTION?

Requests for repeat prescriptions should be written and either placed in the box in the entrance lobby or posted to the surgery. We DO NOT accept telephone requests. We will, however, accept a faxed request to 01245 344476. We are also investigating the possibility of accepting e-mail requests.

Most repeat prescription requests should be by the computer-printed form, detached from the previous prescription, which only requires the appropriate item to be ticked.

Please allow TWO FULL WORKING DAYS BEFORE COLLECTION. This allows time for the prescriptions to be printed, checked and signed by a doctor before collection, or provide a stamped self-addressed envelope. Requests for other prescription items will also be subject to this timetable.

Repeat prescriptions should be collected after 5.00pm each day from reception.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT REPEAT PRESCRIPTIONS ARE REQUESTED IN GOOD TIME AND ALWAYS WELL BEFORE THE MEDICATION HAS RUN OUT.
IF, IN EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES, WE AGREE TO ISSUE A PRESCRIPTION ON THE SAME DAY, THIS WILL NOT BE READY FOR COLLECTION UNTIL AFTER 5.00PM.
