- Order by telephone – The prescription line is open from 1:30pm until 3:30pm Please ring 01754 896350 within these times.
The prescription line can be extremely busy at times, particularly on Mondays. It would help us to provide you with a better service if you could avoid ringing on that day.

- By post – Please send your repeat prescription slip (marked prescription order) to: HAWTHORN MEDICAL PRACTICE , HAWTHORN ROAD, SKEGNESS, PE25 3TD. Please include a stamped addressed envelope if your medicines ARE NOT dispensed at Burgh or sent electronically to your nominated pharmacy.

Dispensary

Repeat medication will normally be available for collection 3 working days after ordering.
On occasion there may be a delay in obtaining supplies of certain medications. Please do not blame the staff as these matters are usually beyond our control and we do our best to work with our wholesalers to obtain supplies in a timely manner.

We have a duty to review your health and medicines regularly. We will let you know if you need to make an appointment for a medication review with one of our clinicians.
If you need urgent advice about your medication outside our surgery hours, please call NHS 111.
