There are various ways in which you can order and pick up your repeat prescription.
Ordering your prescription:
Use the tear off slip from your previous prescription order to tick the items you need.

- Online
- By telephone - you can call us after 2pm Monday to Friday to request a prescription.
- Via the pharmacy - Lloyds Pharmacy in the village, Garden City or Sainsburys are happy to accept your orders and will pass them to us (please enquire at the pharmacy about this service).
Collecting your prescription:
From the Surgery-Prescriptions are usually ready for collection from the surgery the following day after 2pm (or Monday after 2pm if ordering on a Friday). Please allow an extra 24 hours when there is a Bank Holiday.
From the Pharmacy-Lloyds pharmacy in the village, Garden City or Sainsbury’s will collect prescriptions on request and process it for you. If you send your order directly to us you need to advise us if you wish your prescription to go to one of these pharmacies. Prescriptions are usually ready for collection from the pharmacy 48 hours after ordering.

Medication Review Date
It is important to remember that the doctor needs to see patients regularly to ensure that the most appropriate medication is prescribed. A medication review date appears on the repeat prescription tear off slip. If your review is overdue this may delay your prescription.
Requests for Non-repeat Prescriptions
If your prescription request is for an item that is not on your repeat prescription list, please be aware that there may be a delay if the originating doctor is not available to issue it.
