Pharmacy requests for non-repeat prescriptions There have been problems with local pharmacies requesting medication for patients that are not on their repeat prescription list without any information on why the medication is required. This is potentially unsafe. With effect from 1st December we will not accept requests from pharmacies for medications not on repeat prescription. Please contact the surgery direct for any such requests or complete the online Prescription request form
Vision online booking of appointments and repeat prescribing Online booking of appointments and repeat prescribing through Vision online is now live. This is safer and easier than the previous system through this website. If you havent already registered we would encourage you to do so - please download the registration form from this website or collect from reception. Repeat prescription ordering is now through Visiononline. You can continue to use the Prescription request form but will need to provide additional information for each drug requested. The next planned upgrade to Vision online will allow you access to a summary of your records. We hope to implement this by 31.3.15.

Minor surgery Funding has recently been withdrawn for GP minor surgery cosmetic procedures such as removal of moles where there is no suspicion of cancer. Regrettably this will greatly curtail the service we have been providing. We can still remove lesions where there is repeated infection or bleeding and we would still encourage you to see us if there has been any change in an existing mole
