Ordering Prescriptions

If you require prescriptions for regular and continuing treatment, it is not always necessary to see the doctor each time.

Repeat prescriptions are computerised and the tear-off slip at the side will indicate the date your review is due.

Give 96 hours’ notice. Requests for prescriptions cannot be taken over the phone by the practice.
