We can take repeat prescription requests on the telephone. Please only phone between the hours of 11 and 12.30 and from 1.30 – 5pm to order medication.
These are medications which are not on your “repeat list”
They take slightly longer as they are reviewed by our clinical team. The current turnaround time is 4 working days.
As a Practice we are reducing the use of antibiotics in conditions where they are unlikely to be of benefit. These conditions could include the common cold, viral sore throats and similar conditions.
The reduction in antibiotics is necessary to reduce the risk long term of antibiotic resistance developing which could make some conditions untreatable with conventional antibiotics.

The practice has made a concerted effort to reduce the use of these medications following the most up to date guidelines which restrict the indications and length of time that these medications are prescribed for.
These medications include Diazepam and Zopiclone among others.

Medicine can be prescribed by either the trade “brand name” or by its chemical equivalent “generic” name. For example, “Panadol” (brand name) is the same as “Paracetamol” (generic name): both describe exactly the same drug.
Government guidelines now require us to prescribe most drugs by their generic name.
If you have any problems with this system please speak to the receptionist or your GP.
