How long does it take for the prescription to be ready?
Prescription requests are processed within two working days, we advise patients to collect their prescription two days after they have put the request in after 5. It is not always possible for us to issue medications if you have not had a review for some of the medications with a clinician, this is due to certain medications requiring a review and for clinical safety.
Prescriptions are mostly sent to your nominated pharmacy electronically. However, if you do not have a nominated pharmacy, you are able to collect it from our reception.
The prescription will be ready 48 hours from receipt of request excluding weekends and bank holidays.
Please note all prescriptions will be issued electronically to your preferred chemist.

Acute medication requests can not be requested online, please kindly request them via e-consult, email or by coming into the surgery to request them.
Please specify your nominated pharmacy and address and postcode of where to send your electronic prescription in the additional notes section.
