You can order your repeat prescription via the following options:

Local Pharmacies

The practice operates a computerised repeat prescription system. If you are taking regular medication your doctor will authorise a repeat prescription, listing the details of your treatment.

If you are expecting to collect your medication directly from one of the local chemists then please allow 3 days (excluding weekends).

Repeat prescriptions can be ordered over the telephone and will take 48 hours (2 days) to process. Prescriptions can be picked up from Market Overton, Somerby or Wymondham Surgery.

Changes to prescribing at this surgery

Market Overton and Somerby Surgeries as a provider of Primary Healthcare commissioned through the East Leicestershire and Rutland Clinical Commissioning Group have been asked to share the attached document with you. It explains some of the measures being taken to reduce prescribing costs and identifies that in several areas, it is cheaper to purchase medication over the counter, rather than have it prescribed.

There are exemptions for some people but we would urge all our patients to visit the CCG website for further details or, ask for a copy of the relevant leaflet from the Practice/Surgery. Please do not be offended by these changes, we simply wanted to make you aware that over-the-counter prescribing is available to you.
