Prescriptions

Signing up for Online Prescriptions is the easiest way of ordering your repeat medication. Please click on the sky blue square “Sign up for Online Prescriptions” to register for this service

Repeat prescription requests can be made by clicking on the purple square “Order your prescriptions” and if you have told us your preferred pharmacy, we will send the authorised prescription straight to them to action.

Repeat prescription requests can also be made by calling our prescription answering service on 01224 558177 or 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.

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.
