Repeat prescription appointments:
Repeat prescriptions for some regular medications may be obtained without making an appointment with your Doctor; however this is at the Doctor’s discretion. We do not usually provide repeat prescriptions if you have not had a Doctors consultation within the last six months for your medication. An appointment is always needed for certain medications such as antibiotics and antidepressants.

Frequently Asked Questions
​
1. Why do I need my own email?
For privacy reasons each patient, over the age of 16, is to have their own individual email address. This enables us to email you back with your script updates.
​
2. How can I order a prescription for my children?
If your child is under the age of 16, you can order a script under your email address and name, you will just need to identify who the prescription is for in the ‘Comments’ box.
