Repeat Prescriptions

The repeat prescription service is offered to allow patients to obtain ongoing medication without further consultation with the Doctor, a time saving factor for all parties concerned. With this in mind repeat prescriptions will not be issued by the doctor during routine or emergency consultations.

Repeat prescription requests may be made either:

1. In person.

2. By post (using your prescription counterfoil whenever possible).

3. By fax. Please ask the receptionist for an explanatory sheet on how to order by fax or download or copy here.

To avoid dangerous errors, we regret that prescription requests cannot be accepted by telephone.

We will post your prescription to you if you provide a stamped addressed envelope or patients can make arrangements with local chemists to request/collect prescriptions on their behalf.

Prescriptions are usually ready for collection after 48 hours. However, if you request non-repeat items your prescription could be delayed. Please also allow additional time for chemist and postal requests.
