Prescription requests (repeat and new medication requests)
URGENT REQUESTS
If your request is URGENT please do not try to come to the surgery to hand in your urgent prescription request.
If you need a prescription repeat urgently, you should do the following:
1. You can call POD on 03333 583 509 (local rate number) or e-mail them on: shropshire.pod@nhs.net
2. You can email the practice on portcullis.surgery@nhs.net (We do not take phone requests for repeat prescriptions only EMAIL)
We would then advise you to CALL YOUR NOMINATED PHARMACY and ask them to process your request urgently as often pharmacies can take between 3-5 days to process a repeat precription request.
