How to get a prescription. 

If you think you may need a prescription medicine, please make an appointment with one of our doctors.  

You should take your prescription to the pharmacy located on the same floor as Crawley Health Centre or to a convenient local pharmacy of your choice where it can be dispensed. 

How to get a repeat prescription

Repeat prescriptions are only available for registered patients and are generally for those who have a long term condition requiring regular

medication. Your doctor will decide who needs repeat prescriptions.

From time to time we will ask you to see a doctor to monitor your illness and medication before re-issuing the next prescription.

Please allow at least 2 working days for us to deal with your repeat Prescription request. To make a request for a repeat prescription by hand either: Complete a Prescription request form available from the surgery and give it to us.

Deliver the retained part of your computerised Prescription to the surgery
