Tanworth Lane Medical Practice

If your doctor has authorised a repeat prescription, you may submit a written request or a computer generated request slip to obtain your medication. Your requests can be handed in, posted to the surgery or faxed. Yor prescription will be available for collection two days following the practice having received your request. If you wish it to be posted back to you please ensure that you enclose a stamped addressed envelope. Please read your prescription counterfoil each time you receive as new one to check that the details are correct. There may be a message printed on it asking you to see the doctor or nurse before your next prescription can be issued. The following chemists call at the surgery on a daily basis:

• Haslucks Green Pharmacy, Haslucks Green Road.Lloyds Pharmacy, Tanworth Lane.
• Sainsbury's Pharmacy, Stratford Road.

Sick Notes

For all illnesses lasting six working days or less, a sick note from your doctor is not required. Instead, on returning to work complete a self-certification form, which is available from your employer. If a note for a private insurance scheme is required, then a charge will be made as this falls outside the NHS system.
