Prescriptions

With some long term treatments you do not need to see the doctor for every prescription – but it will be necessary for you to see the doctor or nurse form time to time for checks – it is not advisable for doctors to continue to prescribe for a patient without monitoring the suitability of the medication regularly.

Please remember that prescribing without consultation is not always best for you and if you are asked to see a doctor this is the reason.

Place your order at least 48 hours (two full working days) before you wish to collect your prescription. Prescriptions take time to prepare and cannot be done when surgeries are running.

If there is anything you do not require on your prescription please tell the receptionist so that she can remove it before you leave the surgery.
