Repeat prescriptions can be requested once you are on regular medication. Please allow 72 hrs if collecting from the chemist, 48 hrs if from reception.

Please note that we do not issue prescriptions that are ordered more than one week early.

Batch Prescriptions

We are now offering a batch prescribing service to all patients on stable regular medication, this service allows you to order your medication in advance and ensures it is ready for when you need it. 

How it works:

• You fill out an easy form and take this to your pharmacy
• The pharmacy allocated then handles all your prescriptions and when you are running out of medication you let the pharmacy know and they will make up your next lot of medication for you. 
• The batch prescribing service lasts for one year.  If your medication changes then we can start it again when you are regular stable medication.  You don't need to worry about ordering your medication from us, so no more emails or filling out request forms. 

If you would like to join our Batch Prescribing Service please speak to one of the Receptionists or your Doctor.

Alternatively you may order your repeat prescriptions online with the form below, or you may choose to order in one of the usual ways:
