Prescriptions

The GP Centre has an on-site pharmacy where patients can have their prescription dispensed if it is more convenient. Prescriptions may also be sent directly to a number of other local chemists for collection.

Repeat Prescriptions

If you take medication on a long term basis, you can ask for a repeat prescription. Currently we cannot accept these requests by telephone unless you are housebound or disabled.

Your prescription will be available for you to pick up from either the Surgery or sent to the dispensary of choice within a maximum of 48 hours (Mon- Fri).

Dependent upon the medication prescribed patients, it may be possible for repeat prescriptions to be issued for a period up to 12 months. These prescriptions will be available for collection from your local chemist. Do ask your GP for further details.

Patients taking regular medication will be required to attend a medication review with the doctor. It is in your own interest to make an appointment for a medication review when asked to do so, to ensure continuity of treatment.
