Electronic prescription should be possible from Mid-November hopefully. Prescriptions will be automatically sent to the Pharmacy of your choice so if you want to collect your prescription from us you'll need to nominate us as your preferred collection point. You can do this either by telling us when you're in the Pharmacy or by filling out a nomination form also available in the Pharmacy. Each person has to fill a nomination themselves (Children and elderly can delegate this to others).

The Surgery and Pharmacy have agreed a process whereby if patients want their prescription collected and dispensed ready for collection, then you must contact the Pharmacy and we can arrange for this to happen. This is to bridge the gap until Prescriptions are sent electronically to us (November hopefully). The whole process will take a little longer than just producing prescription forms so allow an extra day or two for repeats.
