HOW DO I....

OBTAIN A REPEAT PRESCRIPTION?

Telephone requests are not accepted. Prescriptions may be collected after 48 hours, during surgery opening times, by a responsible adult, never children under 16. We will post it to you if you leave a stamped addressed envelope with your request but please allow more time. Even if you feel well, arrange to see your doctor by the review date if he writes one on your card.

HOW DO I....
OBTAIN SICK NOTES?

Self-Certification is the correct procedure to use if you are ill and unable to work for up to seven days. The form is available from your employer or from the post office. After this, if you are still too ill to work, you will need to see a doctor to get a DSS certificate.
