Repeat Prescriptions
It is possible to receive repeat prescriptions for medication you are taking without necessarily seeing a Doctor.
For this purpose you should present a written request for the medication you require at least two working days (48 hours) before it is needed. You may also request a repeat prescription on-line.
If you live in a rural area or in a village more than a mile from Bury St Edmunds ...
...we are able to provide a dispensing service to you. Apart from being able to collect your medication on your surgery visit, we also offer a free delivery service. This is for patients who have difficulty collecting their medication.
Please look on the Practice area map (see under Appointment section) to see which villages and rural areas we deliver to.
Special Note:
Ordering a Prescription On-Line

Prescription Reviews
Patients on long term therapy will be asked to attend a six monthly review.
Remember always to store medicines out of the reach of children. Please read the bottle carefully before taking any medication and if in any doubt consult your Pharmacist or GP. Replace any out of date medicines and return them to your local chemist for disposal.
