Common Questions and Answers—Repeat Prescriptions
Q. When should I put in my repeat request?
A. When you have one week’s supply of tablets left. If you are going away you
can put in your requests earlier than usual — just put a note on it so say why you
are requesting your prescriptions early.
Q Why don’t you take repeat prescriptions over the telephone?
A. The surgery has over 6000 patients and we issue prescriptions for 6300
items every month. If every patient telephones us, we would not be able to get
ay other work done and the telephone would be constantly
engaged. Once you have used the computer print out you will see how easy it is.
Q. I have lost my computer print out. What should I do?
A. No problem! Just drop a piece of paper into the surgery with your name,
address, your doctor’s name and the medication you need. When you collect your
prescription there will be a new computer list for you to keep.
Q. Will you post my repeat prescription to me?
A. Yes of course. We will need a stamped addressed envelope.
If you do not give us a SAE, we will keep your prescription at the surgery for
you to collect.
Q. Can you send my prescription to any chemist/
A. No. The only chemists that collect are the ones that have a collection
service: -
For Fetcham - Cannon Court, Fetcham & Bookham Pharmacies
For Leatherhead– Day Lewis , Buckley Pharmacy & Boots.
If you want your prescription sent to another pharmacy, please give us a
stamped envelope with their address on it.
