Thank you for your kind understanding in this matter.
Following advice from the Care Quality Commission we will no longer accept telephone requests for repeat prescriptions with the exception of housebound patients. If you have a genuine reason why you can only request by telephone please speak to our Dispensers.
The Dispensary is available between 11am and 2pm for requests from housebound patients and all prescription queries.

Repeat medication requests and any letters can be posted through the red postbox by the gates.
