Changes to the Repeat Prescriptions

From Wednesday 12th February 2025 we are asking you to order your medicine directly from the practice, rather than allowing your repeat prescriptions to be ordered on your behalf by your pharmacy. For more information, please read: Changes to repeat prescription requests
