Repeat Prescriptions
If you require prescriptions for regular and continuing treatment, it is not always necessary to see the doctor each time.
Repeat prescriptions are computerised and the tear-off slip at the side will indicate the date your review is due.
Please allow at least 2 working days for all requests

Generic Medication
If you require generic medication, such as calpol, ibuprofen and paracetamol, it is expected that you would buy this medication from a supermarket or pharmacy, where they are always available, at cheap prices.
Medication Reviews
Please make sure you check when you are due for your medication review. They are normally done every six or every 12 months, depending on your medication. On the white side of your prescription, there is a list of your repeat medications. By each item, there is a review date. This is when you will be due a review. About a month before you are due, there will be message on the white side of the prescription, reminding you to book one. If you are in doubt about when you are due for a review, please ask a receptionist.
