Prescriptions

How do I order my prescription?

Most items are on 8 weekly cycles but some particular drugs can only be prescribed 4 weekly. Please check before ordering that you are on an 8 weekly prescription and are not requesting too early avoiding a high demand on GP and administration time. Any items that are not due will not be processed.

Please allow 3 full working days for prescriptions to be processed and remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account.

Processing/Collections

We are experiencing significantly increased demand for prescriptions at the moment. Please allow 3 working days for the surgery to prepare your prescription and send it to your nominated pharmacy or have it available for collection from reception.  If you would like us to send the prescription to a pharmacy, please specify your preferred pharmacy when ordering.

If you have requested your prescription to be sent to a pharmacy, please note that each pharmacy may have their own processing time.  We would advise you to allow a further 2 working days to allow the pharmacy to process your request.

Also please ensure you leave extra time over bank holiday weekends.
