Central & Thorpe Surgery

No repeat prescription requests over the telephone please - written requests only (this is to avoid any mistakes occurring).

Requests for repeat prescriptions may be handed in at reception. Please use the white section which is attached to your prescription whenever possible. If you include a stamped, addressed envelope we can send your prescription to you.

You should allow 48 hours before collecting your prescription or you can opt to have your repeat prescription collected by a local chemist.

Patients on repeat prescriptions should normally be seen at least once during the year.

CERTIFICATES - "SICK NOTES"

SC2 forms (Self Certification Forms), which cover your first week off sick are available from Post Offices, workplace or your local benefit office and some job centres. NHS Certificates (Form Med 3) are only available from your doctor and commence after one week of absence from work. If your employer requires a private certificate, a standard fee will be charged. Hospital wards and outpatients are able to provide routine certificates when you attend hospital or during your stay in hospital.
