REPEAT PRESCRIPTIONS

Please either ring the dispensary line (01460 55511) between 9.00 and 12.00 and 2.00 till 5.00 pm, or simply drop the repeat prescription slip into the Surgery, ticking the items you need on the right-hand section of your previous prescription form. Your prescription will be ready for collection 48 hours later. If you prefer, we can post it back to you (you will need to provide a stamped, addressed envelope).

You may also request repeats online. To register for this free service simply come into the surgery and ask about the online repeat request service. Once registered you can access the repeat prescription service. Please note that prescriptions ordered online will not be received by the Medical Centre until the next working day and will then take 48 hours to be processed ready for you to collect.

When you register with the practice you will be advised whether we will be able to dispense your medication for you at the surgery – this is dependent on the distance your home is from the nearest pharmacy.

If you require repeat medication urgently outside our normal opening hours, you can go to any pharmacy – the local pharmacies are The Minster Pharmacy, Silver Street, Ilminster and Boots Pharmacy, East Street Ilminster.

We are keen to ensure that patients with ongoing medical problems are monitored regularly. If the date for your next review with a doctor or nurse has passed you may be asked to make an appointment.
