| Repeat prescriptions |

If you are
taking regular medication your doctor may issue a repeat prescription slip.
This should be brought or sent to the surgery. A stamped, self-addressed
envelope must be supplied if you cannot collect your prescription. We need
2 working days to process your prescription, so please order in plenty of
time so that you do not run out of medication. The local pharmacies also offer an ordering and collection service, which you may find more convenient. Please contact the pharmacy direct to arrange this. If you do not have a repeat slip, other requests may be sent to your doctor in clear writing. It is possible that in this situation your doctor may wish to see you. Patients on longterm medication are regularly asked to visit their doctor to check on their medication and from time to time you may receive a request to do so. We regret that we are unable to take telephone requests for prescriptions. This rule is for your safety. However, Lloyds Pharmacy (attached to the surgery) is running a scheme whereby if you register with them you can telephone to re-order your prescription by phone. They can be contacted on 01626 863228. This service is at this branch only.
Email requests for prescriptions can be made and these should be sent to: enquiries.bartondawlish2@nhs.net |
