HOW

OBTAIN
A REPEAT PRESCRIPTION?
Some patients on long-term medication may be given a repeat prescription sheet by the doctor. When you need your prescription please place the repeat slips in the box at the reception. Your repeat prescription will be ready within two full working days. If you would like it posted back to you, allow four full days before it is due and please supply a stamped addressed envelope.
If possible, prescriptions should be collected after 3.00pm but please note that we are not able to issue prescriptions before 10.00am.
HOW
DO I....
OBTAIN
A SICKNESS CERTIFICATE?
Under government sick pay regulations, no certificate is required for an illness of three days or less. A self-certificate form should be completed if the illness lasts for four to seven days. These are available from Social Security offices or your place of work. GPs are not required to issue statements for periods of incapacity for work lasting seven days or less, or for the first seven days of longer spells.
If the illness lasts more than seven days, you will need to obtain a National Insurance Certificate from your doctor. If you are seen in A&E or treated in hospital, the professionals there can issue sick notes when you leave.
