  • Tick the appropriate medication on your repeat slip and hand it in (or post it) to the Practice. You may use the external Practice post box when we are closed.

How to collect your prescriptions:

  • You can nominate a pharmacy and we will send the prescription there for you. Please contact Reception to choose which pharmacy you would like to use.
  • We can post your prescription to you if you supply a stamped addressed envelope.

Please allow 48 hours for your prescription request to be actioned by the surgery.

Repeat Dispensing Scheme

If you are on regular medications which do not change very often your doctor can issue several prescriptions in advance to be held and distributed when you need them by your chosen pharmacy. This is only appropriate for patients on four or less repeat medications per month.  If you feel this scheme could be of benefit to you please contact Reception.
