Ordering a Prescription
There are a number of ways to order your medication.
Whichever method you use for ordering a repeat prescription, it takes three (3) working days to process. If you need it sooner, then please tell reception so they can alert the doctor.
1. Online
The easiest way to order a repeat prescription is to register for online services.
Simply log in to the online portal and visit the medication section. You then tick the prescriptions you want.
2. In Person
You can do this by returning the right-hand half of a previous prescription for the required medications, or by submitting a handwritten request.
There is a repeat prescription request box next to the front door at the main surgery entrance.
3. By Post
You can post your prescription slip or written request to us at the practice. You can include a stamped addressed envelope for return by post if you will not be able to pick up your prescription from the surgery.
Please note we are unable to accept ANY repeat prescription requests by telephone.
Medication Not in Stock
Sometimes, patients find that their preferred pharmacy does not have stock of the prescribed item. In these cases, we recommend patients should ring around other Pharmacies to check their stock, as they often use different suppliers.
Please note: It is not the responsibility of the practice to re-issue an alternative prescription based on one pharmacy not having supplies.
