Initially you will need to see a doctor - please make sure you book an appointment before your medication is due to run out. Thereafter, if you are on regular medication you may get a repeat prescription without having to see the doctor every time.
Repeats must be requested using the printed repeat slip or in writing. So we can check your records we ask for at least three working days notice (72 hours) not including weekends. If you wish us to post your prescription to you, please enclose a SAE. For your own safety please do not telephone for repeat prescriptions. We are able to dispense medication only to those patients who live one mile or more from the nearest pharmacy.
Dispensary opening hours are 8.30am to 6.30pm Monday to Friday.
