Repeat Prescriptions
If you are receiving regular treatment you can obtain your repeat prescription without seeing the doctor. You may, however, be asked to see the doctor on occasion to ensure everything is as it should be.

- Prescriptions ordered after 4pm including online orders will not be processed until the following working day.
- We do not fax prescriptions to any Pharmacy due to concerns relating to data protection and information governance.
- We do not accept repeat prescription requests over the phone.
