Prescriptions and dispensing

If you are on continuous medication authorised by your doctor, you can order a repeat prescription.

To order a repeat prescription

  • Use your NHS account (on the NHS website or in the NHS app).
  • Use your Systmonline account (on the Systmonline website).
  • Order by telephone – The prescription line is open from 9.00am until 12.00 noon and 2.00pm until 4.30pm daily. (Telephone between the hours of 1.30pm to 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. Whenever you ring and there is a delay, please be patient. We will answer your call as quickly as possible.
  • Use the repeat ordering slip on your previous prescription. Leave it at the surgery.
  • 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.

Dispensary

Medication can be dispensed directly to some patients at the Burgh le Marsh surgery.

Eligible patients must meet specific criteria and you will be advised by practice staff if you are eligible.

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 Receptionists or Dispensers 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.

Medication reviews

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 either our practice nurses or your doctor.

If you need urgent advice about your medication outside our surgery hours, please call NHS 111.
