Repeat Prescriptions
We Apologize for the increase in wait time for your medication and advise that you order your medication when you have 7-14 days left of your current supply.
This change only impacts Dispensing Patients.
You can order your prescription in several ways:
• Patient Access online- Please ask for details at the Reception Desk.
• Via our post box located next to the Dispensary hatch.
• Our repeat prescription line. Open Monday to Friday 8:30-10:30 on 01684 592840.
• Or ask at the Dispensary about how we can manage your repeat prescriptions for you.

The dispensary is open for Prescription collection from 8.30am until 6.30pm on Monday to Friday - PLEASE ARRIVE BY 06:00PM TO COLLECT YOUR MEDICATION IN ORDER FOR US TO BE ABLE TO FULFILL ALL THOSE WAITING.

Important
Due to changes with the way the NHS is moving so that patient data is not duplicated or used fraudulently patients names held on record at the surgery MUST match that held centrally by the NHS. Unfortunately this may mean that the name that you use day to day may no longer be the one that appears on any official NHS paperwork, including prescriptions. We appreciate that for some this may seem impersonal or inappropriate but we hope that you will accept the need for accurate patient records across the NHS.
Please note that if you collect your prescriptions from a chemist you must inform them of any previously recorded names to prevent duplicate medication records at the pharmacy, as they do not have access to the central NHS record yet.
Medication Reviews
Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, pharmacist, 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.
