Repeat prescriptions can be ordered via telephone to our repeat prescription voicemail that is in operation during telephone hours only. 

Repeat prescriptions take 72 working hours to process , please take this into consideration when ordering your medications.

Please make staff aware of your pharmacy preference so that we can make sure that your prescription is available on time for your chosen pharmacy to collect.

Prescriptions are centralised to our Sandyrow site therefore patients who have not nominated a pharmacy are required to collect their own prescriptions from Sandyrow.

Acute prescription requests ordered before 10.30 am if approved by the GP are available after 3pm however chemist collections take place during the morning clinics therefore you must indicate how you intend on collecting your prescription. Acute prescription requests made after 2pm will not be ready until the next working day and can be collected by your nominated pharmacy.

Hospital letters take 72working hours to process.

To order your repeat prescription please telephone the practice on 02890323973 during telephone operating hours to leave a voicemail containing your request.

Please allow 72 WORKING  HOURS, excluding weekends and Bank Holidays, for your request to be processed. Any problems please telephone the surgery. There may occasions where the Doctor may wish to review your medication with you before renewing any repeat medication and this is in the interests of patient safety. We apologise for this inconvenience should this occur. If your medication has not arrived to its destination within 72 working hours  please contact reception. Thank you.
