Repeat prescription requests can be hand delivered posted or faxed to the surgery. Please use the request slip attached to your previous prescription. To avoid errors we do not take telephone requests for prescriptions.

Allow two working days for your prescription to be processed, i.e. prescription requested Thursday should be available for collection the following Monday. If you would like your prescription posted to you please include a stamped addressed envelope. All the local Pharmacies now provide a collection and delivery service.

Please note that a review date may appear on the bottom of your request slip. If this is present, you must see your doctor before this date if you require a repeat prescription.
