How to request a repeat prescription
You can make a repeat prescription request to the surgery in a number of ways:
- By completing our online form
- Via our online services. If you are not registered to use this service, please complete our Register for Online Services form.
- Through your local pharmacy
- By post
- In person by leaving a note / the tear-off slip from your last prescription, and ticking the required medication.
Prescription requests will not be taken over the telephone, unless you are housebound, as this can lead to mistakes and blocks the telephone lines.
We require three working days if you wish to collect the prescription. You are able to place your request for a repeat prescription up to seven days ahead of the due date.
In line with NHS England and CCG advice on good practice and reducing waste across the NHS, we provide our patients with 28 days rather than 56 days repeat medication.
Medication reviews
Annual medication reviews are required when you are on repeat medication. Please complete our Medication Review form.
Alternatively, you can request an appointment for a review via our Consulting Room. Please ensure you are booked in to see or speak to on of our trained clinicians when this is due.
