Request a Repeat Prescription

Five working days' notice is required so that the form can be checked and signed by the Doctor. If you wish prescriptions to be collected by a particular pharmacy, then please indicate so when requesting items.

We will not usually take requests for repeat prescriptions over the telephone. Our preferred method of requesting is via Online Services. In order to use the online service, you must first register

Prescriptions will be ready in 5 working days (excluding weekends and Bank Holidays). This may take a little longer if what you are asking for is not part of your regular repeat medication.

By Post

You can post your prescription slip or written request to us at the Practice

You must include a stamped addressed envelope for return by post if you will not be able to pick up your prescription from the Surgery.

Prescriptions can be collected from:

  • Our Bosham surgery between 8:30am and 12:30pm Monday - Friday if you have requested to collect from there
  • Langley House between 8:30am and 6:30pm Monday - Friday.

Dispensary

If you live more than a mile from a chemist (as the crow flies) you may have your medication dispensed by us. If you wish to collect your dispensed medication from the Bosham Surgery, please remember to indicate this when ordering your prescription and please collect during the morning, rather than during evening surgeries when a receptionist will be able to help you.

If you are between the ages of 16 and 60, you will be asked to show proof of any exemption from prescription charges when collecting medication. The law now insists that the Dispenser checks this information.

Medication Reviews

Repeat medications are reviewed at appropriate intervals by the Doctor and yourself. These dates are indicated on your prescription form and you will be reminded when appropriate.

Repeat Dispensing

If you, or someone you care for, use the same medicines regularly, you may be able to benefit from repeat dispensing from your pharmacist. This means you won't have to visit the surgery every time you need more medicines.
