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 two 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.
You can request prescriptions online, using the form below, or if you prefer to email your request sent them to enquiries.bartondawlish2@nhs.net.
The Surgery produces, on average, 2000 items on prescription per week. To produce this amount requires an awful lot of work: they have to be inputted onto the computer, printed, checked, authorised and signed by the doctor, checked again and distributed to the various points of collection.
We ask for your help so that mistakes are kept to a minimum:
The biggest problem we have is when patients do not give us enough time to process their request, so please remember to give us plenty of notice when you need your prescription – do not leave it until the last minute.
