We are unable to accept telephone requests for repeat medications. This is for patient safety - many drug names are difficult to pronounce, and there are often drugs with phonetically similar names, which have completely different uses.

Please note that drugs which have not been set up for repeat which were given for a single episode of illness or which need review cannot be supplied in this way. You will need to complete an Additional Medication form and you may be asked to make an appointment for review with a GP.
