PRESCRIPTION REQUESTS

For patients on regular mediation the doctor may arrange issue of repeat prescriptions without requiring an appointment.  You will be given a re-order form with the details of your repeat medications.  

We operate a 72 hour service for repeat prescriptions (excluding Saturday & Sunday)

We do not provide a telephone order service, as this can result in error, and engages busy lines and staff.

Requests for acute prescriptions (those not prescribed on a repeat basis) will be reviewed by GPs, and be available within 3 working days.
