Prescriptions

Repeat Prescriptions

These can only be given if the doctor has put your prescriptions on the computer as a REPEAT and 48 hours notice is required.  Changes in treatment may only be done at an appointment with the doctor, NOT by a receptionist.  The receptionists' cannot take requests for any other prescriptions. You MUST see or speak to a doctor.

Ordering of Repeat Prescriptions

You may order your prescriptions by identifying the items required on the tear off slip and posting it in prescription box located on the reception counter during surgery opening hours.  Alternatively you may contact the surgery on 278206 during the hours of 11am - 12.30 and 3pm - 5.00pm an afternoon (this service is for Grange patients only).  Brierton patients are requested to contact the surgery on 270234 between 11am - 12.30pm and after 3pm in the afternoon.

Your Local Pharmacist

Your local Pharmacist will be able to give you free health advice at any time - you don't need an appointment. The Pharmacist is also able to issue emergency medications until you are able to see your own Doctor and a local pharmacy scheme will allow the free prescribing of treatment for minor ailments if you are eligible for free prescriptions.  Many Pharmacies operate extended hours on a rota basis. Call NHS Direct for details.
