Prescriptions

If you are prescribed regular medication that is not on the repeat prescription system, you will need to book a telephone consultation with a GP prior to this being issued. Please ensure that you allow plenty of time to book the appointment prior to running out of your medication.

At present, routine telephone appointments are available 1 or 2 weeks in advance, but could be longer if there is a specific GP you wish to speak to. Once the prescription has been generated, please also allow 2 full working days before collecting it, unless otherwise stated by the GP.

Non-urgent advice: Notice

Our system for booking online appointments and ordering repeat prescriptions is changing from the end of July.

We will post more details on the website when we have them.

(Please note: This change has now been postponed until further notice)
