HOW DO I....
OBTAIN A REPEAT PRESCRIPTION?
Our repeat prescription system both the national and Croydon NHS prescribing policies. If you take medication on a regular basis you will need to make further requests by using the tear-off slip on the right hand side of the computerised
prescription slip which you can hand in at the reception or post to the surgery. Your usual pharmacist can order repeat presciptions on your behalf. If posted, do remember to enclose a stamped addressed envelope. Please allow two working days for your prescription to be ready, making extra
allowance for bank holidays and weekends. From time to time you will be asked to see a doctor to review your medication. Note that a REPEAT PRESCRIPTION REQUEST WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED BY TELEPHONE as serious mistakes
can happen in taking messages on the phone. If you do run out of your repeat medication then an emergency supply can be obtained from your regular pharmacist.
