Prescriptions

The Pharmacy handles all requests for repeat prescriptions, which can be made either in person or by telephone to the Pharmacy (free phone number 0500 703183).

Repeat prescriptions will be issued at the doctor’s discretion and are normally for patients on regular medication and must be authorised within the patient’s notes by your GP. Repeat prescriptions can be obtained without seeing the Doctor.

Requests for prescriptions are usually made on the request slip attached to your prescription and posted into the box next to the Gompels Pharmacy, or sent to us by post – our address is at the top of the page. The Receptionists are not authorised to take requests for medication over the telephone.

Please allow two complete working days before collection and make allowances for weekends and public holidays. This amount of time is required to generate the prescription form, check it, get it signed by your doctor and then have it ready for collection at the Pharmacy of your choice.

An SAE will be required for any script destinations other than those on the repeat or collections.
