Wylcwm Street Surgery

HOW DO I....
OBTAIN REPEAT PRESCRIPTIONS?

Medicine which is taken regularly may be obtained without seeing the doctor by requesting the drug by name either at reception or by post or by fax. Please ensure that you have your repeat prescription slip with your computer number at hand when making your request. Whenever possible, please try to request your prescriptions the day before you want to collect them. Requests made before 10.00am will be available after 2.00pm the same day. Requests made after 10.00am will be ready after 2.00pm the next working day.

Patients on repeat medication should be seen by the doctor at regular intervals for review. This usually occurs every six months. Normally, prescriptions cannot be picked at the local pharmacy between 1.00-2.00pm.

CHEMIST TIMES

Please remember that between 1.00 and 2.00pm at Knighton, prescriptions cannot be dispensed or collected, nor over-the-counter medicines purchased, as the pharmacist is at lunch. There are also chemists at Leominster, Ludlow, Llandrindod Wells, Kington, Bishop's Castle, Craven Arms and Newtown.

HOW DO I....
REGISTER WITH THE PRACTICE?

The practice welcomes new patients from within the practice area.

When you register with us, you will be offered a consultation with a doctor or nurse who will discuss your health with you. You are free to see any doctor regardless of which doctor's name appears on your medical card.
