HOW TO ORDER A REPEAT PRESCRIPTION

If you require prescriptions for regular and continuing treatment, it is not always necessary to see the doctor each time.  Repeat prescriptions are computerised and the tear-off slip at the side will indicate the date your review is due.

Please give 2 full working days’ notice.  Please DO NOT telephone. Prescriptions for controlled drugs, please allow 5 working days for these to be processed.

Please allow at least two to three working days to collect your prescription from the reception desk and three working days if you would like to collect your medication  from a pharmacy. If you requre a repeat of a controlled drug please allow five working days.  Please DO NOT wait until you have run out of tablets.
