You can request a repeat prescription by fax 01371 873679, by ticking and returning the order part of your prescription in person, by post, by using the repeat prescription form
below or by leaving your request at the local chemist.
PLEASE ALLOW 48 HOURS FOR REPEATS. If there is a problem with your request the dispensary will call you back. We will be happy to post a repeat prescription to you if you send a stamped, addressed
envelope with your request. Alternatively, we can arrange for it to be delivered direct to Yogi or Ropers pharmacies. We do dispense medications to our patients living more than a mile from the
nearest chemist. For security reasons prescription medication will only be handed to the patient, or a named representative, who must be over 16 years of age. You may collect your prescriptions up to
6.30pm Monday to Friday.

You do not need an appointment with
the doctor for the first two items above unless you require the private certificate.
Sometimes it will be possible to obtain a continuation certificate without seeing
a doctor. Please telephone the surgery and leave a request with the receptionists.
Certificates cannot be issued in advance, but should you be late in applying for
one, they can be back-dated. Wherever possible please allow 48 hours for the repeat
certificate. This will give the doctor time to complete it should he be away from
the surgery or dealing with emergencies.
