Non-urgent advice: Notice
We are no longer accepting paper prescription requests at the surgery, please do not bring any to the front door or post them through the letter box. Prescriptions can be requested via any of the above listed methods.
We now send repeat prescriptions (including Controlled Drugs) electronically to the pharmacy of your choice. If you don’t already have a pharmacy nominated, you can do this by informing Reception, informing the Prescription line when you place an order or by asking your usual pharmacy to nominate themselves.
Your medication will be reviewed on an annual basis. This will be done by either a GP, Advanced Nurse Practitioner or Practice Nurse. If the clinician would like to see you for a medication review, or you need blood tests as part of your medication monitoring; you will receive an invitation for this via text or post.
