Repeat Prescriptions

Please see the link above for online ordering- you will need to register for this service if you have not already done so.

If your doctor has decided you can have prescriptions on repeat this will be authorised without you having to be seen. These are computerised and full details will be given to patients as needed. We regret we cannot accept telephone requests for repeat prescriptions.They can, however, be faxed to the surgery on fax: 01483 575872 

If you have registered for online booking, you are also able to request repeat medication, and to view and print a list of all your repeat medicines or appliances. Photo I’d such as a passport or driving license needs to bought into the practice after registering for online services- this is so we can verify your identity in person. You will only need to do this once .

Please allow a minimum of 48 hours , excluding weekends and Bank Holidays, for your request to be processed. Paper prescriptions will take longer as they are processed differently and  therefore take 3- 4 days. Please ensure you do not wait until your medication is about to run out before you request more. It is the responsibility of the patient to order in good time.

Did you know - If you have run out of your regular repeat medication and we are closed, you can contact your local community chemist. They may be able to supply your medication without a prescription. If possible take along your half of your last prescription or the box or packaging which shows your name and the dose etc. The local community chemist can also help if you need advice about a minor ailment

Alternatively under Pharmacy Urgent Repeat Medicines Service, you can call NHS 111 service to be referred directly to a participating community Pharmacy.
