Prescriptions

A repeat request can only be made for medicines that you are CURRENTLY taking and that have been prescribed by York Street clinicians. If you want to discuss a new medication please arrange an appointment with a GP.

For clinical safety reasons we do not accept requests for repeat prescriptions over the phone

Please remember to order your medicines early so that you do not run out over the Christmas and New Year period

If your request is received after 1pm, then this will not be picked up until the next working day, and will ready three clear working days after.  If you request medication that is not on your repeat list you may need to see or speak to a GP
