Repeat Prescriptions
We cannot accept repeat prescriptions over the telephone unless you are housebound. Prescription requests have to be in writing.
It is helpful when ordering repeat prescriptions to provide an explanation at the time of request if there are any changes i.e. ordering early due to a holiday.
Please make sure that you have ticked all the items that you want on your repeat prescription.
The email address for requesting prescriptions is sxicb-esx.prescriptions.saxonbury@nhs.net
Collections
It takes us three working days to process your prescription from the day of your dropping your request in. We then send your prescriptions to the pharmacy of your choice, who may take at least another one working day to order your medication.
Working days do not include weekends or public \ bank holidays as we are not working. For clarification the prescription box is emptied at 12:30 every day. Therefore prescriptions collected at 12:30 on a Monday will be available in the pharmacy after 12:30 on Friday.

Medication Reviews
Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip.
Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.
