Repeat Prescriptions

When the doctor puts you on a medication that you need to take for a prolonged period you will be given your medication, together with a slip enabling you to re-order your medication without seeing the doctor.  

We need to receive your request two full working days prior to you requiring your medication. The reason for this is that our dispensary process in excess of 200 repeat prescriptions each day in addition to the prescriptions from surgeries. Added to this we may not stock your medication and will need to obtain it from our supplier or something may have to be checked with the doctor.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO WITH THE SLIP

Tick the items required and either :

  1. Drop your slip into the practice, through the letter box or into the collection box at the dispensary.
  2. Post it to the practice—please allow extra time for posting.
  3. Fax your request to 01234 720603.
  4. E-mail - please click on the link on the right hand side of this page and your request will be forwarded to the dispensary for processing.
It is practice policy not to accept requests for repeat medication over the telephone. There are good reasons for not doing this, the number one priority being patient safety and it would be greatly appreciated if you could use one of the above methods for re-ordering your medication.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DISPENSE PRESCRIPTIONS TO PATIENTS WHO LIVE WITHIN 1 MILE OF A CHEMIST.
