HOW DO I...?
...OBTAIN A REPEAT A PRESCRIPTION?

Repeat prescriptions will be issued at the doctor's discretion and are normally for patients on long-term treatment.

Requests for repeat prescriptions can be made by bringing your marked counterfoil to the surgery or by sending it through the post by letter. We do not take repeat prescription requests over the phone.

Please give 48 hours' notice when requesting a repeat prescription. If you require the repeat prescription posted back to you please enclose a stamped addressed envelope.

There is now also a service available called Repeat Dispensing for patients on long-term controlled medication. This service enables you to collect prescriptions directly from the chemist rather than visiting the surgery for each repeat request. Please speak to a receptionist for more details.
