No repeat prescription requests from pharmacies from 1st November

We are changing our repeat prescription system so that from 1st November the surgery will no longer accept repeat prescription requests from pharmacists of dispensing companies. We are doing this so that we can monitor more closely what medicines you need and more particularly what medicines you don't need. Under the old system some patients built up a stock of unused medicines. This is unsafe and wasteful. You can request your repeat prescription in several ways: By handing in the tear off part of your repeat prescription and ticking the items you want. By making a request online - you need to register for online access but it is then very easy to request repeat requests. Ask at reception how to get a login and password. By letter By telephone - 01924 223909 option 3 after 10 am please If you already order your repeat prescription directly from the surgery by any of the above methods nothing will change. We need 48 hours to process repeat prescription requests: Re
