HOW DO I.... OBTAIN A REPEAT PRESCRIPTION?
Many items
that have been issued as a regular repeat medication by your doctor can be obtained. These items can be requested in person, in writing, by fax (01453 847994) or by using the electronic request form at the bottom of this page. Please bear the following in mind:
Your prescription
will be ready for collection two working days after you have requested it.
If you wish, you can provide us with a stamped, self-addressed envelope so that we can post your prescription to you. Alternatively, you can nominate a chemist for us to send your prescriptions to.
Contraceptive
pills are not available on repeat prescription and it will normally be necessary
for you to make an appointment.
For reasons of patient safety we
are unable to take repeat prescription requests over the ‘phone. This can,
however, in agreement with your usual doctor, be arranged in certain circumstances
(eg patients who are completely housebound).
