How Do I....
Obtain A Repeat Prescription?

• These are issued at the doctor’s discretion and are normally for patients on long-term treatment.
• Please use your REPEAT MEDICATION REQUEST FORM which is attached to the computerised prescription.
• Please request only the items needed and do not hoard medicines at home as this is both unsafe and wasteful.
• Please advise your GP if, for any reason, you are no longer taking any medication listed on your repeat form.
• The form may be posted (enclose an SAE if you wish us to post it back), handed in, faxed to 01784 464360 or emailed to shgscripts@nhs.net. Repeat prescriptions can also be requested via this website, if you are registered with us to use the practice internet services. To register, enquire at reception.
• Allow two working days before collecting your prescription.
• We cannot take requests over the phone as this could lead to serious errors and also blocks the telephone for urgent calls.
• Arrangements can be made for your prescription to be collected by the local pharmacy so that you do not need to call back to the surgery - ask at reception.
