Emergency Prescriptions
The Practice no longer provides emergency prescriptions. We ask that you do not ask staff to issue an emergency prescription. All staff have been told to refuse the request.
The practice procedure for prescriptions is to allow two working days.
If you are running low on medication, please contact 111. Ask 111 if they can provide an emergency supply.
