Repeat Prescriptions If you take medication, please give two working days' notice when requesting a repeat prescription. Repeat prescriptions are printed from our computer and a tear-off slip on the right-hand side can be used for re-ordering. This can be placed in the box at the reception desk, put through the letter box when the surgery is closed or posted to the surgery: if you would like your prescription posted back to you please enclose a stamped addressed envelope. We can also accept requests by fax and email or you can register with EMIS Access, which is the on-line facility for ordering your repeat prescriptions. We are no longer able accept requests for repeat prescriptions over the telephone for safety reasons.
