You can also tick the items you require on the repeat list you received with your previous prescription and leave in the box at reception or post through the letterbox if the surgery is closed.
Prescriptions ordered more than 7 days in advance will not be processed unless a valid reason is supplied.
We do not accept telephone requests for prescriptions. This is for safety reasons and reduces the dangers associated with mishearing requests and at the same time ensures the correct medicines are ordered at the right time.
