Prescriptions

If you would like to request medication, please use our online Repeat Prescription triage.

Please allow 3 working days when requesting your medication.

Only emergency medication will be authorised sooner. These are medications needed within 24 hours to prevent you from becoming severely unwell and include:

  • Inhalers
  • Epilepsy medication
  • Parkinson’s medication
  • Hydrocortisone for Addison’s
  • Insulin
  • GTN Spray
  • Anticoagulants
  • Palliative medicines

You will need to purchase over the counter medicine for any pain relief.

Important Notice

If you have reached the end of your authorised repeats, please let us know; this will then be handled by the prescription team.

Same Day Prescriptions

Please note that it can take up to half an hour for a same-day prescription to be ready at the pharmacy.

Medication Review

We review any regular medication on a repeat prescription annually and wherever possible the doctor will do this without you having to attend the surgery.

If you have been advised by the surgery that your review is due, please complete our online Medication Review form.

If you need an appointment for a medication review, you will be contacted by the practice.

Otherwise your authorisation date will be reviewed and adjusted as appropriate for the monitoring of your medications.
