. In person at reception
Please note that the safest way to order your prescription is by using the On Line service or by letter.
Prescriptions will be processed and ready for collection within 48 hours. Please do not allow yourself to run out of your medication, order in plenty of time and be mindful that the pharmacy will also need time to process the prescription once they have received it. If you have nominated a pharmacy your prescription can be sent to them electronically and you do not have to collect the prescription form the surgery first.
We do not accept prescription requests via email or by telephone. Please do not use the main surgery number to order repeat prescriptions as they are often busy dealing with patients at the surgery.
