The Westerham Practice


HOW DO I....
OBTAIN A REPEAT PRESCRIPTION ?

Patients requiring repeat prescriptions are asked to give at least 48 hours' notice (excluding bank holidays and weekends) before their prescription is required. Requests for prescriptions left after 10.00am on Friday may not be ready for collection until after 2.00pm on Tuesday. For accuracy and efficiency, the prescriptions are prepared by computer. Requests should be made in writing, preferably on the repeat order form attached to the previous prescription. If you enclose a stamped, addressed envelope, we will post your prescription to you, but please allow extra time for the postal service. Otherwise they can be collected until 6.00pm. The practice has an arrangement with neighbouring chemists, who will operate a collection service on your behalf. Please ask your chemist for further details. Medication for dispensing patients will be available in 72 hours. We ask you to collect your dispensed medication after 9.00am.

Please do not ask for prescriptions over the telephone. Errors can
occur and your call may block the line in the case of an emergency.
