Prescriptions

Repeat prescription requests should be made by completing the online form, via the NHS App or MyGP App.  Alternatively, you can make a request in writing and drop off to the surgery.

We do not take requests for repeat medications by telephone.

Dispensing Patients

Patients living more than one mile from the nearest pharmacist, mainly in Chattenden, High Halstow, Allhallows, St Mary Hoo, Stoke and Grain can have their prescriptions dispensed by the practice.

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip.

Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.

Please allow three full working days for prescriptions to be processed and remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account.

Emergency Prescription Requests

Please note we do not operate an "Emergency Prescription Request".

Important Information about your Sleeping / Anxiety Medication (Benzodiazepines and Z Drugs)

Sleep and anxiety medications are most effective when taken sparingly for short-term situations. If these medications are used long-term they are best used ‘when needed’ to avoid dependence or tolerance. Please read the information attached here.
