Prescriptions

If you are taking regular medication, a repeat prescription sheet is attached to your prescription. When a repeat prescription is needed detach this sheet (indicating which medication is required) and hand it to reception. This should be done at least 48 hours before you need the prescription. The prescription will be ready for you to collect the following day.

You can post your request with a stamped addressed envelope. The prescription will then be posted back to you. Please remember to allow extra time if you choose this method. Requests for repeat prescriptions will only be accepted by prior arrangement with the Doctor. If you have any problems with these arrangements, please inform us and we will do our best to help.

Telephone requests

We do not take repeat prescription requests over the telephone. We will accept requests from the following patients only:

  • with certain medical conditions
  • housebound patients
  • those over 70 years old

Ring 01922 614896 between 12.00pm and 3.00pm where possible.

Patient Access

You can register your details at www.patientaccess.com. With Patient Access you can order repeat medication and book routine appointments online.

Nominating a pharmacy

You will need to choose a pharmacy to collect your prescription from. We call this nominating a pharmacy.

You can change your nominated pharmacy at any time:

  • Online, on the app or website where you order repeat prescriptions
  • At your GP practice
  • At any pharmacy that accepts repeat prescriptions

Questions about your prescription

If you have questions about your medicine, your local pharmacists can answer these. They can also answer questions on medicines you can buy without a prescription.

About pharmacists

As qualified healthcare professionals, they can offer advice on minor illnesses such as:

  • Coughs
  • Colds
  • Sore throats
  • Tummy trouble
  • Aches and pains

They can also advise on medicine that you can buy without a prescription.

Find a pharmacy

Many pharmacies are open until late and at weekends. You do not need an appointment.

Most pharmacies have a private room. So you can discuss issues with pharmacy staff without being overheard.
