Please note, to reduce the opportunity for misunderstanding, if you have any problems please telephone the surgery. However we are not able to take requests for medication over the phone.
Hospital Prescriptions
If you are prescribed medicines by the hospital you should be given a 14 day supply before you leave.
Medication Reviews
Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip. Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.
Please allow two full working days for prescriptions to be processed, or 4 working days if you require your pharmacy to deliver the medicines to you. Please also remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account.
