HOW DO I....
Obtain A Repeat Prescription?

48 hours’ notice is required for repeat prescriptions.  We have a computerised system for patients who require regular supplies of medication.  A new list of medication is issued with each prescription - this must be brought to the Health Centre (or posted to us) when requesting a prescription. This ensures that all prescriptions are correctly written and automatically checked against your records.  If your medication has changed or you are requesting it early, eg for holidays, then please make this clear on your request slip.

If you do not have an order form then please write down your name, address and full details of the medication you require. 

All written requests should be put in the box provided at reception.

If you wish to chemist to deliver your medication then please contact them direct

NB: Requests for repeat medication will not be taken over the telephone.

Sickness Certificates

A sickness certificate completed and signed by your doctor is only required when a period of continuous absence from work, due to illness, is one of seven days' duration or longer.  For absence up to three days no certificate is required.  Between three and six days' absence is adequately covered by a ‘self-certificate’ (available from any employer).  All employers should be aware of these regulations.

If your employer still requires a certificate for an absence of less than seven days we can supply a private certificate for which a fee may be charged.
