Repeat prescriptions will be issued at the doctor’s discretion and are normally for patients on long term treatment.

Requests for prescriptions can be made in the following ways:

• Online via the link at the top of this page
• By completing a prescription request form – or the retained part of your computerised prescription – and then delivering it to the surgery.

We are unable to issue repeat prescriptions at weekends, public holidays or out of normal surgery hours.

We cannot accept telephone requests for repeat prescriptions, except where a patient is housebound and therefore unable to write to or call at the surgery.

If you are a new patient and are on repeat medications, you will need to see a doctor for a medication review before any prescriptions can be issued.

Please allow 3 full working days before collection, excluding weekends and public holidays. Please note, that on busy periods there may be a delay.

Learn more about what your pharmacy can do for you

A new website has been launched to provide information about several NHS services that pharmacies in England are providing.

The website (communitypharmacy.org.uk) provides information on the following three NHS services:

·         Pharmacy First Service;

·         Blood Pressure Check Service; and

·         Pharmacy Contraception Service.

There is a separate page for each of the services on the website providing information about the three services and there are links to the NHS website to find a pharmacy that offers the service.

The website also explains that patients have a right to choose which pharmacy they use to receive NHS services.
