If you are on regular treatment, a request for prescriptions can be made by:
- bringing your repeat prescription counterfoil to the surgery – tick the items you need and put the form in the box provided on the counter.
- sending it by post (please enclose a stamped self-addressed envelope for its return. You will need to allow 7 days for its arrival and return)
- dropping your re-order form to you nearest chemist or ringing them with what you require to order on your behalf
You will need to allow 2 working days for the prescription to be processed until it is ready for collection (excluding weekends and Bank Holidays). We use a computerised system to issue repeat prescriptions. Tick the items you need and put the form in the box provided on the counter. You should order only the medicines that you actually use.
When your repeat slip indicates your medication needs review, please contact the surgery via ‘askmygp’ for a medication review. We carry out regular reviews for your own protection and to make sure we are monitoring your illness and medication.
Prescription delivery
The local chemists will deliver prescriptions free of charge to housebound patients on request. Please note that prescription delivery is at the discretion of the pharmacist and that delivery times cannot be guaranteed. This is a private arrangement between yourself and the pharmacist.
Michelle/Jan will deliver prescriptions free to your home if you are housebound, elderly or have difficulty getting to the surgery. Please contact the surgery to obtain a prescription delivery service request form to opt into the scheme.

Emergency Medicines Supply
The Emergency Medicines Supply service, where appropriate, allows pharmacists to provide patients with an emergency supply of medicine where they are unable to obtain a timely supply from their GP or usual pharmacy. Examples of when the service may be used are:
- when a patient is on holiday
- when medication is urgently required outside of GP hours
To obtain urgent medication from a GP practice in Wales, contact your surgery directly to request an emergency, same-day prescription, or use the NHS 111 Wales service if they are closed. Community pharmacists can also provide emergency supplies of regular medicines without a prescription in many cases.
