PRESCRIPTIONS & TEST RESULTS

Repeat Prescription Requests

To order a repeat prescription, tick the items you require on the right-hand page of your last prescription and take or post it to the surgery. If you do not have the right-hand page of your last prescription, simply write a note of what you require, remembering to include your full name and address. If you would like your prescription posted back to you, please enclose a stamped addressed envelope.

We regret that we are unable to take prescription requests over the telephone. However they can be faxed to us on 01245-344287.

PLEASE ALLOW 48 HOURS FOR YOUR PRESCRIPTION TO BE READY
