Prescriptions

Patients receiving prolonged or repeated courses of medication can re-order using the repeat order form attached to their previous prescription. Please either hand this in at reception or post it enclosing a stamped addressed envelope (SAE). We are able to keep a stock of your SAEs for future prescriptions.

Repeat prescription requests can also be made by calling our prescription answering service on 01224 558177, or by internet if registered online, at any time.

For all requests, completed prescriptions can usually be picked up from 1700 on the 2nd working day after the request is made. We will endeavour to let you know if any problems will restrict our ability to process your prescription on time.

Many pharmacies operate a collection service. Please ask at reception for details.

New Patients

New patients on repeat medication will be asked to make an appointment with a doctor before receiving their first prescription.

Pharmacy

A full dispensing service is available in the Health Centre pharmacy. The opening hours are Monday to Friday 09:00 – 13:00 and 13:30 – 18:00.

Medication Reviews

Most 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 a notification should appear on your repeat slip. Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.
