Repeat Prescriptions

Repeat prescriptions can only be requested for patients where the medication has already been authorised by one of the clinicians.

We offer an Electronic Prescription Service which has a number of benefits to you:

• Your Pharmacy can request prescriptions on your behalf
• You can request your repeat medication online
• You can request your medication over the phone by calling us
• You can collect your medication from any pharmacy in the UK
• You can collect your prescription when the surgery is closed

Please allow 72 hours before collection.

If you would like your prescription posted, please leave a stamped addressed envelope with us in order for it to be posted.
