Repeat Prescriptions

If you need regular repeat prescriptions and the doctor or practice nurse does not need to see you every month, then your prescription requirements will be dealt with by our repeat prescribing protocol.

Surgery Protocol is as follows:

  • All repeat requests should be handed into the surgery or posted.
  • Green prescription slips showing computerised repeat medication should be used at all times to avoid mistakes.
  • Telephone requests will only he accepted from the elderly/infirm/housebound.
  • Please allow at least 48 Hours notice for ALL repeat medication.

Alternatively, you can order your repeat prescription directly through this site. Click on the link above and complete the simple registration form.

What to do with old medicines

Take it to the pharmacy you got it from or bring it in to the surgery. Do not put it in your household bin or flush it down the toilet.

About pharmacists

As qualified healthcare professionals, pharmacists can offer advice on minor illnesses such as:

  • coughs
  • colds
  • sore throats
  • tummy trouble
  • aches and pains

They can also advise on medicine that you can buy without a prescription.

Many pharmacies are open until late and at weekends. You do not need an appointment.

Most pharmacies have a private consultation room where you can discuss issues with pharmacy staff without being overheard.
