To request a repeat prescription please telephone 02476 246072, or contact the surgery to arrange to register for Patient Access.

Please allow at least 48 hours before visiting your collection point.

We can only process requests for repeat prescriptions – if you require a new medication you will need to book an appointment or speak to one of our doctors on the telephone.
