Special Requests

If you require medication that is not listed on your reapeat prescription, this is known as a special request.  These requests will be reviewed by a GP or prescribing pharmacist and will only be issued if clinically appropriate. 

Prescriptions can be collected from your nominated pharmacy. You can change your nominated pharmacy at any time by contacting the surgery.

Please allow 48 working hours, (longer for postal requests) excluding weekends and bank holidays, for your prescription to be processed. This helps avoid unnecessary delays and allows the surgery to work more efficiently. 

If you have any problems with your prescription, please contact the surgery.
