Prescriptions

How do I order repeat prescriptions?

New Prescription Ordering Service – Voice Connect Service 24/7

We are introducing a new prescription ordering service to improve patient access. This will replace the Voicemail service which will cease on 29 Mar 24. It is called Voice Connect; Voice Connect enables patients to telephone the practice 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and re-order repeat prescriptions without the need to speak to a member of our reception team.
