Prescriptions Advice

The surgery requires 3 working days from receipt of your prescription request to process your prescription. Once processed, your prescription will be sent electronically to your nominated pharmacy. The pharmacy may then need additional time to process your prescription too. Please plan for this time when requesting your medication to avoid running out of medication.

How to request medication that is not on your repeat (Acute)

An acute prescription is a 'one-off' prescription which the GP has decided not to add to your repeat list of regular medication. This may be a prescription for a short course of treatment or for a new medication until you are stabilised on it. Some medication is not suitable for prescribing on repeat prescription. Some medications are recorded as acute as they require to be closely monitored by the Doctor. Examples include many anti-depressants, drugs of potential abuse or where the prescribing is subject to legal or clinical restrictions or special criteria. If this is the case with your medicine, you may not always be issued with a prescription until you have consulted with your Doctor again.

To request an actue prescription please complete an online consultation (admin query) via our online service.

If you do not have access to online then you can request in writing to the surgery. We do not take prescriptions over the phone.
