All you need to do is to phone the pharmacy or if you prefer e-mail them requesting any or all the items on your repeat prescription slip. The pharmacy will, on your behalf, request the prescription from us.  Once received by the practice it will be processed and if there are no queries then a prescription will be dispatched to the pharmacy for them to dispense the drugs .
