Prescriptions
Please follow the guidelines and choose the right option for you.
Ordering a repeat prescription
- Please allow us 48 hours (two working days), to process your prescription request.
- Ask your pharmacy if they operate an SMS notification system to let you know when your medicines are ready to collect.
- Repeat Prescriptions are not accepted over the telephone, unless a patient is housebound.
When you order a prescription online, you can have it sent electronically to a pharmacy of your choice. This is called a nomination.
Order online
The easiest and safest way to order repeat medication is through your NHS account or online service, if registered. Access it on a PC or the NHS app on a mobile device. Simply click on the medications you need to order, which also reduces rekeying time for your request.
Other ways of ordering your medication
If you prefer to order using a paper form you can bring either of the following to the surgery
- The prescription slip from your last medication order. This will have been given to you by the pharmacy and will have your medications and dosages on it.
- If you don't have the prescription slip you can type or write your request on a plain piece of paper
If we are closed when you drop it off then you can put it through the secure letter box to the right-hand side of the front porch.
Patients are requested to return the slip attached to their prescription either by post or handed into the surgery.
