Requests for repeat prescriptions can be made in the following
ways:
Getting your prescriptions quickly, accurately and efficiently is important for both you and us. Each week we deal with approximately 3,500 item requests.
Please allow two full working days for a repeat prescription to be issued, excluding weekends and Bank Holidays.
If you send a postal request, please allow at least one week.
To avoid errors, we only accept requests for a repeat prescription over the telephone from elderly and infirm patients.
Please note that the Out of Hours service will not provide repeat prescriptions.
Please remember to put in your repeat script request in good time -
before you run out of your medication!
It would surprise you how many scripts end up having to be processed ‘as an emergency’ by the same individuals because of lack of foresight and planning!
And, please HELP US TO AVOID WASTE when requesting repeat prescriptions for your medicines:-
- Please only order those items you actually need
- Please do not stockpile medicines at home
- Please notify us if some medications on the repeat scripts are no longer required
Please also tell us if the time of ordering different tablets on the prescriptions do not tally - your usual GP should be able to sort this out for you.
To save you time, repeat prescription requests can be posted through our letter box.
