HOW
DO I....
OBTAIN
A REPEAT PRESCRIPTION?
Regular repeat prescriptions are computerised. Each prescription has a tear-off
slip which enables the next prescription to be ordered. For reasons of safety we
cannot take requests for repeat prescriptions over the telephone. If it is
more convenient we are happy to post prescriptions as long as a stamped, addressed
envelope is provided or accept requests by fax on 01784 477208 or email to carolestock@nhs.net
Please anticipate your needs and allow two working days before collecting your
prescription.
Repeat prescriptions for oral contraception or hormone replacement therapy cannot
be obtained in this way but only by seeing your doctor.
HOW
DO I....
OBTAIN
A SICKNESS CERTIFICATE?
The patient is responsible for self-certification for the first six days of an
illness using form SC2 which can be obtained from the patient's employer. Thereafter,
if appropriate, NHS certificates will be issued by the doctor as part of a consultation.
