Repeat Prescriptions
Please give 48 hours notice to allow us time to process your request.
If there is an item that you are requesting which is not showing on your repeat medication slip, please speak to a member of the dispensary team who will assist you further.
When we are open we will endeavour to meet any same day requests, the dispensers will inform you when the items will be ready.
We dispense to most of our patients, and therefore they can obtain their acute prescription immediately after seeing the doctor/nurse. Dispensary is open during normal consulting hours.
