Request a repeat prescription

Providing your request is made before 3pm, we aim to have your repeat prescription ready within 3 working days.

Any requests made after 3pm would not be looked at until the next working day, however, this may take longer if a doctor needs to review your notes.

Pharmacy Ordering / Collection Service

Although we are not permitted to recommend any pharmacy, some local pharmacists operate a scheme whereby they will collect your prescription from us. They will then dispense to you from their pharmacy. If you are housebound they may even deliver to your home. You will need to discuss with your chosen pharmacy, whether they offer these services.

Find a pharmacy

Please Note: That the Burlington Pharmacy is a separate company and is not controlled by or connected to Burlington Primary Care. Any enquiries relating to their services should be directed to them.

Repeat Dispensing

If you require regular medication your Doctor may decide to make this a Repeat Prescription and issue you with a repeat prescribing slip. The slip indicates how many times you can order a repeat prescription. 

  • For example, 2/4 indicates that you have already had two out of four authorisations.
  • When you have reached your limit (e.g. 4/4) the Doctor will review your notes and may decide to speak to you or see you in Surgery or do a blood test.
  • The slip also indicates the date the next issue is due (this will be when your medication runs out).
  • The slip may also give a date for review of your medication although this is not often used.

We often use the repeat prescription slip to advertise new services or to pass on important health news.
