Repeat Prescriptions

If you are a new patient and you are on repeat medication, you will need to make an appointment to see the doctor before you can be issued with your first prescription - this enables the doctor to correctly enter your medication details on your records. It would be helpful if you could bring in your previous prescription counterfoil with you.

If you have any queries regarding your prescriptions please call the prescription line between 9:30AM-1:30PM daily. Please note prescription requests will NOT be taken over the telephone to avoid errors - Please do not call the surgery to check if a prescription is ready - if there are any problems with your request we will contact you.

We will only issue the items that have been ticked or specifically requested. Requests should be as precise as possible. If you are going on holiday and require your prescription before its due date, please state this on the request slip.
