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

Please allow two working days (ie Monday - Friday) for your prescription request to be processed. Requests should be posted through the letter box or sent by post. It is not possible to take requests for repeat prescriptions on the telephone.

You may collect your prescription from the Practice. Most of the chemists in the area also offer a collection service so you can collect your prescription direct from them (please include the name of the chemist on your request).

Alternatively, if you supply a stamped addressed envelope we will post your prescription to you.

From time to time you may also find a message on your prescription prompting you to see the doctor for review. This is part of the practice’s routine monitoring of all medications and you should make an appointment for review of your prescription. We may have to alter or discontinue your prescription if you do not attend for review.

Obtaining Repeat Prescriptions On-Line

We are offering you a new service, which will allow you to order your repeat prescriptions over the internet.

Please note that only items specifically listed for repeat on the computer can be obtained in this way. For all other items, even where they have been prescribed in the past, you will need to discuss your request with a doctor.

You will need to register with the Practice before using this service

HOW DO I....
OBTAIN A FITNESS CERTIFICATE?

If you have seen a doctor within the last three weeks, you do not need to see one for a 'Fitness To Work' certificate (formerly Sick Certificate). Simply write to the Practice to advise us of a start date and duration. If you have not seen a doctor within the last three weeks, you will need to make an appointment.
