Collecting your prescription

Medication reviews
Patients on repeat medication may be asked to see a doctor or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip.
Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.
If you have been advised by the surgery that your medication review is due, please complete our medication review from online.
