If it will assist you, the local chemists (Co-operative Pharmacy at Dore and Moss Chemists on Abbeydale Road) will collect your prescriptions from the surgery so that you can obtain your medication directly from them.
All patients on repeat medication are required to have regular reviews and failure to attend for these may result in your medication being unavailable unless you see a doctor. If a hospital changes your medication, you must inform us so that we can amend our records. New patients need to see a doctor before their first repeat prescription can be given.
