Repeat Prescriptions
BEFORE YOU ASK FOR A REPEAT PRESCRIPTION PLEASE STOP AND THINK, ARE YOU STILL USING ALL THE MEDICAITON ON YOUR REPEAT PRESCRIPTION?
IF NOT PLEASE INFORM THE SURGERY
We do not accept prescription requests over the telephone as verbal requests can lead to errors. This also frees uhe reception staff to deal with appointments and more urgent callers.
However you may request repeat prescription in the following ways:
Tick the items required on the sideslip of your presciption.
Complete a repeat prescription order form available at reception
The above can be left in the grey box in the porch, faxed 0844 8151363, or posted.

DISPENSARY
Blake House like many other small Rural Medical Practices has its own Dispensary. This means that we can supply most medication dressings and appliances. All routine medications and emergency treatments are kept in stock.
We have the provision to dispense to patients who live more that one mile in a straight line from the nearest chemist. The health service regulations on this matter are very strict and this service can only be offered to those patients who register as dispensing when they join the practice or when they move. For further information please ask reception staff
