"Repeat" Medications/Prescriptions

Please note that when your medication is stated as being ‘on repeat’ this means that it is a regular medication.

This doesn’t mean that your prescriptions will be automatically issued each time they are due
You must request your repeated medication by contacting the surgery in person, by requesting via your Pharmacy or using your online access.

How can I order my medication?

  • Written Request

    If you have it, please use the tear-off slip on the right hand side of your previous prescription and tick the items that you require. Pay attention to the review date and other messages printed on the slip. If you don’t have this, you can write write your request on any piece of paper. Please make sure you write your name, date of birth and address.

  • Visit the Surgery

    If you call personally at the surgery, please place your request in the box at the front door or in the waiting room. There is also a black post box located on the front gate next to the road, if you pass by when we are closed.

  • Pharmacy

    You can also request your medication at your local pharmacy.
