Repeat Prescriptions

Patients having regular medication will be given a computerised repeat prescription sheet attached to the actual prescription. This should be carried with you so that any doctor attending can quickly see what medication you are taking. Please use the sheet to obtain another prescription by either handing it in or sending it to the Medical Centre, allowing a minimum of 48 hours for the prescription to be processed. Instructions are on the sheet.

At the bottom of the repeat slip is a review date. This is an approximate date when you should see your doctor to have your medication reviewed. Please make an appointment.

If you are elderly or disabled you can telephone for a repeat prescription on 01628 524646.

Please note that prescriptions are delivered automatically to Brunsden's Chemist, unless you request otherwise. Please write 'Collect from Medical Centre' on the form.
