Our phone lines are currently very busy and our Receptionists are unable to deal with prescription requests over the phone. 

Taking prescription requests over the phone greatly hinders our patients reaching the Reception team for issues that need to be dealt with over the phone, such as booking appointments.

We have many ways that patients are able to order prescriptions:

• Accurx
• Email us on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
• Fill in a prescription request form in Reception
• Through SystmOnline - please visit Reception for your log in details
• The NHS app
• Post your request to us

Antibiotics are an amazing treatmeant for bacterical infections, However, over prescribing/overuse of antibiotics has caused infections to become less effective and resistant to treatments which, has led to the emergence of “superbugs”.

Antibiotics are used to treat serious bacterial infections and do not work for everything. Many mild infections, including those that aren’t caused by bacteria, can get better on their own without antibiotics.

Clinicians will not always prescribe antibiotics for Coughs/Colds/Flu symptoms etc and therefore a prescription should not automatically be expected. Should the Clinician feel antibiotics are the appropriate treatment for your symptoms a prescription may be provided only after you have been examined.
