If you are receiving regular treatment you can obtain your repeat prescription without seeing the doctor. You may, however, be asked to see the doctor on occasion to ensure everything is as it should be.
Prescriptions can be requested by:
- Online (Using the NHS app or PATCHs)
- Calling the Prescription line between 9:30 am and 12pm (01253 204 212 option 3)
- Via email at lscicb-fw.gp-p81079-prescriptions@nhs.net.
- For prescription queries, contact our Prescription line on 01253 204 212 (Option 3). Opening hours – 9.30am – 12pm, or email lscicb-fw.gp-p81079-prescriptions@nhs.net
When ordering repeat prescriptions, please supply the name of the medication required, the dosage and quantity needed. This information can be found on the right-hand side of the printed label on your medication.
Please allow 48 hours (two working days) for your prescription to be prepared.
