We are a dispensing practice
which means that we will dispense
new medicines whenever possible
before you leave the surgery
following your consultation.
Occasionally we may not have an item
in stock and you will be asked to
return within a few days to collect
your medicine or you may take the
prescription to a chemist.
To request a repeat
prescription you may:
- Hand in your repeat
prescription slip to either
surgery, or post it to Sixpenny
Handley.
- You may also phone 01725
552589 between 12 noon and 3pm, or
fax your request to 01725 552029.
- Order online via Emis
Access.

We require at least 2 working days
for repeat prescription requests.
Prescriptions requested after 3pm
will be included with the following
day?s requests.
All repeat prescriptions are
dispensed at Sixpenny Handley but
may be collected from your usual
surgery. The normal prescription
charges and exemptions apply.
Usually a month?s supply will be
dispensed and you will be advised
how often it can be repeated before
it needs to be re-authorised by the
doctor.
