REPEAT PRESCRIPTIONS
For patients on regular medication a repeat prescription slip will be attached to each prescription. If you require a repeat prescription please indicate which item(s) you need with a tick on the printed slip and either:
- Drop it into the Surgery, a collection box for repeat prescriptions can be found on the wall in the porch.
- Post it to us, if you enclose a stamped addressed envelope we will happily return it to you by post. Please allow plenty of time for the postal services to deal with this process.
- Fax your request to us on 01803 550314
- On line via the form on this website
- Direct email to withycombe.lodge@nhs.net
If you do not have a repeat slip then please make sure you list the medications with as much information as possible and include your name and date of birth
To avoid errors, we do not accept telephone requests.
A minimum of 2 working days notice is required for repeat prescription requests collected from the surgery,
- 3 working days for collection from your chemist
- 4 working days if you rely on the postal services.
Any requests received after 1.00pm on Fridays or over the weekend will be ready for collection the following Monday after 5.00pm.
Prescription Collection Services
All local Chemists now offer a prescription collection service. Please indicate, on reverse of your prescription form or in your fax or email request, where you wish to collect your prescription - e.g. the surgery or the name of the Chemist. Your prescription will be produced in the normal way and ready for you to collect where indicated. This saves you time as you no longer need to wait at the chemist whilst your prescription is made up.
