Ordering a repeat prescription

We are unable to accept requests by phone or email; however, you may still hand in your repeat prescription form at reception.

Questions about your prescription

If you have questions about your medicine, your local pharmacists can answer these. They can also answer questions on medicines you can buy without a prescription.

The NHS website has information on how your medicine works, how and when to take it, possible side effects and answers to your common questions.

Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.
