How to order your repeat prescription at Stovell House Surgery
Ordering a repeat prescription
The following points are intended to help achieve an efficient system, both for our patients and for us. Unfortunately, we are unable to take requests over the phone, except for housebound patients with permission from the Practice Manager, it is all too easy to make mistakes; also the calls block the very busy surgery telephone lines.
Please allow 48 working hours - though they may be ready sooner.
We will happily send your prescription to you if you attach a stamped addressed envelope with your request.
Prescriptions can now be sent electronically to any pharmacy of your choice we just need a postcode
