Important Information Regarding Changes from 4th November 2019:
Repeat Prescriptions
You can order your repeat prescriptions in the following ways:
- Online - See further down page for information
- In Person - Post slip in box in reception or Prescribing HUB
- Post - Post your request slip to the surgery address
We can also send your prescription direct to the pharmacy electronically once complete. For more information regarding collection or delivery of your medication please contact your chosen Pharmacy or speak to the Prescribing HUB staff.
Prescriptions can be collected after 10.00am in the morning. If you are seeing a GP or nurse the day you expect to collect a prescription you will be able to collect them when you come for your appointment regardless of whether it is before 10:00am, so long as it is ready. We have politely asked pharmacies to collect after 11:00am to avoid congestion for patients earlier on.
Please allow 48 hours for any repeat medication. If your prescription is put in after 2.00pm it may not be processed until the following day, eg if put in after 2.00pm Monday it may not be ready until Thursday morning.
Should any patient not be able to order online and struggles with ANY of the above ordering methods then please speak to the Prescribing HUB team to see what we can offer to help.

Acute Prescription Requests
We do accept requests for medication that may not be on your repeat medications list but this is up to the GP whether he can give. Please give as many details as possible to the receptionists when asked so that the doctor is able to make a better judgement on whether he can prescribe the requested items without seeing you. Should the doctor decline the request and want to see you instead please bear in mind that it is the doctor making this decision and not the receptionists. We ask patients to give us 48hours to process these requests the same as we do with repeat prescriptions.
