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.
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.
There are now four ways of requesting your repeat prescriptions and three ways of collection.
- Apply Online - see next page for information about requesting prescriptions online
- By Post - sign, date and tick the relevant drugs using the computerised request slip attached to your last prescription.
Collection
- From the surgery allowing two working days.
- Posted to you if a stamped addressed envelope is enclosed with your request.
- Direct to a pharmacy - Some can collect prescriptions from the surgery which may be more convenient for you - please arrange this with the chemist prior to submitting this request - see contacts page for a list. Allow three working days for collection from the pharmacy.
Warfarin Prescriptions

Medication Reviews
