You can request repeat prescriptions:

• from the reception desk,
• by post with a stamped addressed envelope,

Please allow 36 hours before coming to collect the prescription.

Ideally, we would like you to use the tear-off portion of your repeat prescription. If this is not available or if the request is for a drug that is not on the tear-off slip, you will need to put your request in writing, making sure that we have the correct name, strength and dosage of the medication you need.

If you as a patient, feel that you are taking a medicine which is not helping your condition please tell us at your next appointment. If you do not know, or cannot remember, why the doctor has prescribed a certain drug please ask us to explain why at your next appointment.

If you have stopped taking a drug, please let us know. We can update our records accordingly.

Pre-payment Certificate

If you have to pay for your prescriptions and get more than five items in 4 months, or 14 in 12 months, you could save money by buying a pre-payment certificate.

Ring 0845 850 0030 to buy one over the phone using your credit/debit card.

Alternatively, you can go to the Department of Health website for a form to apply by post.
