How to Obtain a Repeat Prescription

If you need regular treatment your doctor may authorise the issue of repeat prescriptions. When you receive your prescription you will also receive a tear-off portion giving details of your repeat medication. Please bring it with you each time you see the doctor and allow three working days (weekdays only), when requesting a repeat prescription. Please DO NOT leave your request until you have run out of tablets.

Repeat prescriptions may be requested:

  1. By post, enclosing a stamped self-addressed envelope if the prescription is to be returned.
  2. Personally at the reception desk.
  3. By fax on 020 8640 4013.
  4. Via this web site.

Please do not telephone for repeat prescriptions as this causes confusion and mistakes can happen. Please use the computerised request slip and return it to the “request prescriptions” box at reception.

Some local chemists can deliver medications to your home but this service is restricted ONLY to the very ill or housebound.
