HOW DO I.... OBTAIN
A REPEAT PRESCRIPTION?
Our repeat prescription system is controlled by
computer. If you take medication on a regular basis, you will need to make further requests by
using the tear-off slip on the right hand side of the computerised prescription. About a week
before you run out of medication, tick off which items you require and either place it in
the prescription box provided in the surgery entrance, hand it to a receptionist or post it
to the surgery.
If posted, remember to
enclose a stamped addressed envelope. Your prescription
will be ready 48 working hours after it has been ordered.
Remember that the surgery is closed during
weekends and bank holidays, so give yourself extra time to obtain your prescription. From
time to time, you may be asked to see a doctor to review your medication. If your prescription
is to go to a chemist, mark the name of the chemist clearly on your prescription request.
