Repeat Prescriptions

Ordering you repeat prescription can be done in a variety of methods: you may request online using our secure Online Ordering Service, call the repeat prescription phone number, hand in a medication slip to the surgery or send in a stamped, addressed envelope for return.

Due to patient safety and to reduce the risk of errors we would encourage our patients to move towards using our online services. For information about how to register and use this service please see our online services section of the website, or speak to a member of the reception team.

Please allow 3 working days for all prescription requests.

New Patients Registering at the practice

If you wish to register with us as a new patient, and are taking repeat medications, please note we cannot issue a new prescription until you are officially registered with us. Until then it remains the responsibility of your previous practice to issue a new repeat prescription.

The difficulty for us is that we do not know what your repeat medications are until we have received a copy of your notes, and we cannot ask for your notes until you are officially registered with us. The local community pharmacies can also issue emergency supplies for urgent requests.
