Urgent Medication Requests
If you need to obtain medication urgently please speak to our dispensary staff. Should you require medical assistance whilst the surgery is closed or have an urgent request for medication please dial NHS 111. For life threatening emergencies please call 999.
It is our practice policy to prescribe one month’s supply of medication. If you need to re-order your medication early, for instance if you will be on holiday when your next prescription is due, please tell us the reason (this can be written on the repeat prescription sheet) and we will process the request in good time.
Medication Reviews
If you have been advised by the surgery that your medication review is due, please use our Medication Review form.
Prescriptions and medication may not be collected by anyone under 16 years of age.
