We need to know the name, strength, dose and quantity of the drug or drugs you require. If you are on regular medication, you will have a computer request slip provided. Please use this whenever possible.  Please allow two full working days for prescriptions to be processed and remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account.

You can also order your repeat prescription at a pharmacy. If you choose to use this service, the pharmacist will bring it to us and collect it, so that you need only collect the medication from the pharmacy. For this service, you should allow at least 72 hours.

 

Emergency Medications

If you run out of a prescribed medicine outside of the surgery opening hours and need medication urgently, community pharmacies can get you an emergency supply quickly, even if you're away from home. NHS 111 are also able to issue an emergency supply.

 

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip. Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.
