If you need to take medicines on a regular or long-term basis, you may be given a printout from the computer. This should be handed in to reception at least 3 working days before the prescription is needed. All prescriptions will be ready after 3.00pm. Alternatively, you may find it convenient to post your repeat prescription to us with a stamped, self-addressed envelope or you might like to ask your local chemist if they offer a repeat prescription service. Telephone or faxed requests for prescriptions will not be accepted for reasons of safety and to avoid blocking the phone lines.
Repeat Prescriptions
Important: When ordering your medication, please allow 3 working days to process the request. It is your responsibility as a patient to ensure you have an adequate supply of your medication.
Our preferred method for you ordering repeat prescriptions is via the NHS Wales App – for more information please visit app.nhs.wales/login
Alternatively, you can order repeat prescriptions via the following methods:
By Email: Please email any repeat prescription requests to the surgery on enquiries.w91036@wales.nhs.uk
In Person: Drop off your repeat slip or request into the letterbox or drop box in reception
Pharmacy: If your Pharmacy offers a manages prescription service, please continue to hand your repeat slips into them so they can order your medication on your behalf
We cannot accept prescription requests over the phone
Sick Notes/Fit notes
Please note that you do not require a doctor's sick note for absences from work of less than seven days. Your employer is legally obliged to accept self certificates for these short periods of absence from work.
Please consult the government website which gives information about fitness for work certification below and a downloadable self certificate
www.gov.uk/taking-sick-leave
Providing certification for short periods of absence from work is a non-nhs service and will be charged. If your employer is demanding a sick note despite the government advice, please ask them to write to us explaining why they require certification and we will charge them accordingly for the service.
