Prescriptions
Many medical conditions are stable over long periods, so that a doctor may authorise repeat prescriptions between checks on your progress.
All the prescribing information is stored on computer, and the counterfoil of each prescription shows all the long term medicines you take.
To request a repeat prescription simply bring the counterfoil in to the surgery and tick what you would like or telephone 270033 after 10am on a morning and read the medicine to the secretary. Please remember to order your prescription before you run out of medicine as the prescription will be ready in two working days [Excluding bank holidays and weekends].
At times your medication may need to be reviewed and doctor may leave a message for you.
