important information

All GP Surgeries have adopted telephone, e-consultations & video conultations to provide remote consultations. 

Where necessary, if technology has not provided a resolution we have invited patients to the practice to further assess their condition in a Covid safe enviroment.

If you struggle with technology please telephone the practice and we will be happy to discuss how yours needs will be met by the practice.

We want to keep patients safe and as far as possible manage your problems remotely.  GPs need to minimise the footfall in their premises to ensure that as far as possible we do not put any of our staff or patients at extra risk.

You should contact the practice to regarding any concerns you have, do not ignore any ailments.

Ordering Your Repeat Prescription in Person  Please ensure that you order your repeat prescription using the right hand side of your repeat prescription order form and ticking the items required. This will ensure that no errors are made and you receive the correct medication.  if you have not got your order form, just ask at Reception and your form will be printed for you.  But please remember when collecting your repeat prescription, to retain the right hand side of your form for when you next order!

Ordering Your Repeat Prescription with the Pharmacy  Your pharmacy is also able to order your repeat prescription request for you.  If yopu would like to use this facility, please contact the pharmacy of your choice, who will be able to advise you.

ELECTRONIC PRESCRIPTION SERVICE (EPS)

The practice offers the facility of an Electronic Prescription Service, this means that once you have nominated a pharmacy, your GP will send all future prescriptions electronically to your preferred pharmacy.

If you would like to take advantage of this service, ask your preferred pharmacy to set your nomination.  You do not need a computer to do this.

This will not affect the way that you order/request prescriptions

Benefits For You:
