Prescriptions
![[IMAGE:pills]](pills.gif)
Both surgeries have a full dispensing service with trained staff.
Patients living more than a mile from a chemist may get all their prescriptions directly from either surgery.
Due to a huge increase in the number of telephone calls for repeat prescriptions our telephone line - which also receives incoming emergency calls - has become overwhelmed by demand. Our procedures are constantly under review, but we are currently asking that repeat requests are made in writing - by post, direct to the surgery, by fax, or by email. The fax numbers are available on the contacts page.
Please allow at least 48 hours for repeats to be processed.
We have recently introduced a system for processing repeat prescription requests by email. Should you wish to make use of this service, it is ESSENTIAL to include your full name, address and date of birth to ensure we correctly identify you. Please email your repeat request to:
danette.sauble
nhs.net (Ashwell patients)
christina.hitchnhs.net (Bassingbourn patients)
We will be closely monitoring this new system. Thank you in anticipation of your understanding and co-operation.
