About pharmacists
As qualified healthcare professionals, pharmacists can offer advice on minor illnesses such as:
- coughs
- colds
- sore throats
- tummy trouble
- aches and pains
They can also advise on medicine that you can buy without a prescription.
In person
Drop in the computer printout attached to your last prescription, having clearly marked the required items. Please cross out the items you do not require and sign and date the paper.
Or, you can submit a handwritten request. You may also write out an order for someone else. You must include the patient's name, date of birth and requested medication.
Questions about your prescription
If you have questions about your medicine, your local pharmacists can answer these. They can also answer questions on medicines you can buy without a prescription.
The NHS website has information on how your medicine works, how and when to take it, possible side effects and answers to your common questions.
If you would like to speak to someone at the GP surgery about your prescription, please contact us.
Further prescriptions information
Medication reviews
Patients on repeat medication will receive a questionnaire annually to review their regular medications. If you do not use the online GP system or complete questionnaires, you may receive a notification on your repeat prescription slip or be contacted by reception.
Private prescriptions
The practice will deal with any request to convert a private prescription to a NHS prescription on an individual basis. Not all private prescriptions can be converted to NHS. Please allow five full working days for your request to be dealt with (as with all prescription requests).
