Repeat Prescriptions

If you need to take regular medication your doctor may give you a REPEAT prescription without the need for you to be seen every time in surgery. 

A repeat prescription is an item of medication that has been approved by a doctor for issue at intervals and can be signed by any Doctor in the Practice. The doctor will not routinely issue your prescription early. We will usually issue your prescription up to one week before it is due (in the case of monthly supply). We will not issue medication prior to this, unless there are exceptional circumstances, when a doctor will decide if early issue of your medication is appropriate and safe.

Please ensure that you order your repeat prescriptions at least seven days in advance and allow at least 2 working days following our receipt of your request. Weekends and Bank Holidays do not count as working days.

You can now only order your repeat prescription from the Practice and not the pharmacy, on-line pharmacy or dispensing contractor. Please remember, we need at least 48 hours notice when ordering repeat prescriptions. Weekends & Bank Holidays are not counted as working days. Please do not attend at a pharmacy if you have covid-19 symptoms.

We will ask you to attend the medication review to review your treatment. If you received a text reminder about medication review, please book as instructed in the text. We might not be able to prescribe more medication if you do not attend the practice for the review."  Can you please make these in bold at the top of the page.
