Although these can be provided at short notice in an emergency, please always request repeat prescriptions 48 HOURS (TWO WORKING DAYS) or so before they are needed as it is the doctor's responsibility to monitor repeat prescriptions in the interest of patient safety. Repeat prescriptions can be requested by a variety of methods:
Repeat prescriptions can be requested using forms available in reception and then dropping the form into the post box in the reception area, or simply by posting the slip that comes with your prescription giving your medication details.
Repeat prescriptions no longer need to be requested from the surgery using the telephone but can be requested directly from the pharmacist. The pharmacists in Bridgwater are working with the surgery to reduce the number of steps a patient takes to get their medication.
Just phone the pharmacist of your choice, request the repeat medication from them and allow 3 days before you collect your medication from that pharmacy. For the pharmacies involved in this service development please use the following telephone numbers:
