Repeat Prescriptions

 

Repeat prescriptions have to be approved by the doctor. You can collect your prescription from your nominated pharmacy by giving three working days notice.

Please note: any requests made after 2pm will not be processed until the following working day.

Dispensary

The Hereward Practice has an on-site dispensary for use by patients who do not live within Bourne - your prescription will be available for you to collect at the dispensary within 3 working days.

The Dispensary is open: Monday to Friday 8:00am to 6:00pm 

Local Pharmacies

The Hereward Practice hosts the Well Pharmacy in the car park of our premises.

Two other pharmacies are available in Bourne: Boots the Chemist, West Road, and Tesco at their supermarket on South Road.

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications; a notification will appear on your repeat slip with your review date.

Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.
