Repeat Prescriptions
Repeat prescriptions can be ordered in person at reception, by post, fax, or email. Please do not request
items which have not been agreed as a repeat prescription. Please remember to order them in good time, because once the surgery
is closed there is no service available to provide repeat prescriptions. Prescriptions will be ready the next working
day after 1 p.m.

Sickness Certificates
The NHS does not provide sick notes for illnesses of less than seven days. If you need a sick note and you
have been ill for less than 7 days you should complete your own note called a SC2. This is available from benefits offices,
or your employer or can be dowloaded on the link here.
If your employer insists on a sick note when you are ill for less than 7 days then this would be a private
service, for which a charge will be made.
