Prescription response times

Repeat Prescriptions

Repeat prescriptions require 48 hours to be processed. They can be ordered in several ways:

• by ticking items required on the right-hand tear-off side of the computer prescription and post through the letterbox at the surgery.
• by sending the request by post, or by sending a stamped addressed envelope with your request for posting back to you. Please remember this can take up to  seven days for postal requests.
• by sending your request to the surgery and then telephoning your local chemist to arrange for them to collect the prescription and deliver the medication, together with your repeat slip for next time.
• by following the link on this page to the online service.

Please allow 48 hours (excluding weekends and bank holidays) before collecting the prescription.

You will be asked to see the doctor for a check-up and review of your medication from time to time.

All patients on Warfarin have to produce their yellow book before we can issue their prescription for Warfarin. This is following a government safety directive to ensure that patients are being monitored and receiving the appropriate medication. If you cannot produce your yellow book please speak to a receptionist for further instructions.
