Ordering repeat prescriptions

You can also email sxicb-esx.quaysideprescriptions@nhs.net  to request your repeat prescription.

If you prefer using a paper request, please post it in the Prescription box in the entrance foyer – the box is emptied regularly during the day, so there is no need to queue at reception.

Please allow a minimum of 2 complete working days for your prescription to be processed – if there is a query with your request it may take longer.

Please also remember to allow extra time for weekends and Public Holidays as requests should not be made to the Out of Hours service or A&E departments.

Urgent on the day prescriptions will only be issued at the Doctor’s discretion and you will be asked to complete a form for the request to be processed
