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.
