Repeat Prescriptions

Patients on regular medication do not always need to see a doctor for a repeat of their medication. You will be issued with a computer slip attached to your prescription. Repeat prescriptions may be requested by placing your computerised copy into the prescription box on reception (please allow two working days). We will also accept postal requests by returning the computer printout with a self addressed, stamped envelope. Sometimes you may be asked to come in and see the doctor or nurse before a prescription can be issued. We do not accept requests for repeat prescriptions over the telephone, unless the patient is housebound.

Change of Name, Address or Telephone Number

Please inform the receptionist if you should change your name, address or telephone number in order that our records are kept up to date.
