Repeat Prescriptions

We have a computerised prescribing system and your regular medication is printed on the slip given to you with your repeat medication. We require 48 hours notice for repeat prescriptions excluding Saturdays and Sundays and a 28 day supply is issued.

You can request a repeat directly from the website, telephone your request in on 01953 681713 for collection at Hopton, telephone 01359 253701 for collection at Stanton or present your repeat prescription side slip in person or by post. Finally you may subscribe to the repeat prescribing scheme.

Sometimes you will be asked to see a doctor or nurse before any more repeat prescriptions are given. This is to ensure that the medication is still the right one for you. If you have difficulty collecting your medicines from the surgery we are able to leave your medication for collection at village pick up points in exceptional circumstances.
