Repeat Prescriptions
Please always check your supplies of medication and order in plenty of time, especially leading up to public holidays and weekends when the surgery will be closed.
Please note that repeat prescriptions will not be available for collection when we are closed for Staff Training (half a day each month) - to view the training dates, please click on the 'Half day closure dates' link on the right of the screen.
If the doctor agrees, repeat prescriptions can be obtained by the following methods:
- By using the pre-printed request slip, ticking the items required and dropping it into the green repeat prescription post box in the entrance hallway.
- By post - enclosing a stamped addressed envelope.
- By fax - 01283 791863
- By asking at the Reception desk for a repeat prescription form to complete.

In order to avoid mistakes, repeat prescription requests cannot be taken over the telephone.
Please ensure that your name, address and the items you require are clearly indicated on your written request.
If your repeat prescription request is received by 12 noon:
- your prescription will be available for collection from the surgery (if requested) from 5pm on the same day.
- However, if you request your prescription to be sent direct to a pharmacy, your medication will be available to collect at either Alrewas Pharmacy or Northwood Pharmacy, Fradley after 5pm on the next working day.
Please ensure that you clearly mark on your request where you would like to collect the Prescription from. If you wish to collect your prescription from the surgery, please mark it clearly “Alrewas Surgery”. Alternatively mark either 'Alrewas Pharmacy' or 'Northwood Pharmacy, Fradley'.
If you are on regular medication, you will be asked to attend for a medication review with the doctor at least once a year. This date will be printed at the bottom of your repeat prescription slip, so that you can make an appointment to see or speak to the doctor.
