PRESCRIPTIONS, REFERRALS AND TEST RESULTS
Prescriptions and referrals
We do not charge for prescriptions or referrals which are collected in person from the practice, provided you have been seen by your GP in the last 6 months. This is in the interest for your own health, wellbeing and safety.
Lindocs encourages patients to book an appointment with their GP to review prescriptions on a regular basis.
Test results
It is your responsibility to check your results by calling and making an appointment to discuss them with your doctor. It is not always appropriate to give results over the phone and it is in your interest to discuss your results in person with the requesting doctor.

Doctors are able to attend home visits based on their availability and provided reasonable notice is given.
Home visits are made within the local area. Please enquire with our friendly reception staff.
