| Repeat
Prescriptions
New system working from the 5th December
2011.
We have changed the style and service which handles the secure
prescriptions. They are still secure. There is no change in how you pick up or
otherwise receive your prescriptions. This is a technical switch
and the appearance of the webpage will alter slightly. When you
submit your order online you now have the facility to print off
your request.

Like all general practice surgeries we offer a repeat
prescription service.
The success of this facility depends on running it very
strictly. Prescriptions are generated by computer but the
accuracy of the prescription requires constant supervision.
In order to minimise errors we will only accept requests for
repeat prescriptions in writing, preferably on the repeat slip
provided. Your prescription will then be ready for collection
from the surgery after 2pm the following working day, excluding
Saturday, provided these simple steps are adhered to.
Every so often you will be asked to make an appointment to see
the doctor in order that the drugs prescribed can be checked and
the repeat slip amended if necessary.
Some of the local chemists offer a collection and delivery
service for the housebound and immobile. We cannot arrange this
for you - you need to contact the chemist of your choice and
complete the form they provide.
You should be aware of your medication running out and leave
plenty of time to obtain a repeat prescription - it can be
dangerous if you stop taking medication abruptly.
