PRESCRIPTION INFORMATION

Repeat Prescription Service

Due to the increasing demand for prescriptions, we regret that we have to make some changes to our repeat prescription service.  Repeat prescription requests will take 3 working days to issue and will be ready for collection from the surgery after 2.00pm on the collection day.  The table below shows the Order days and the relevant Collection Days.

If you have arranged for your prescription to be delivered direct to a pharmacy you will need to contact them to establish a collection day.  We would advise you to place your order 10 – 14 days ahead of needing it to ensure there is enough time for the pharmacy and us to process your request.

How to Order a Repeat Prescription

Please try to order all your repeat prescriptions at the same time.  Doing this will greatly help the surgery and the pharmacies by reducing the amount of paperwork in the system.

Urgent Medication

If you have run out of medication and require an urgent prescription, please ask to speak to the prescription clerk on duty who will discuss your request with you.  We regret that we will only to be able to issue the item you have run out of.  Other items will have to go through the normal system.
Prescriptions for urgent medication can only be collected from the surgery.
