Prescriptions

Routine Repeat Prescriptions – 5 working days’ notice is required to generate a prescription

Acute Prescriptions – 7 working days’ notice is required to generate a prescription for medications that are NOT on the repeat prescription record.

The easiest ways to order repeat prescriptions are:

• Using your NHS account (through the NHS website or in the NHS App)
• Using the GP online system: Patient Access or preferred app.
• Through Online Patient form (open 8am – until all fully booked)
• Tick the required items on the repeat prescription order form and placing in the collection box in at the Reception Desk.
• Complete a repeat request slip available at the Reception Desk and placing in the collection box. Please hand write in capitals.

These accounts show you all your repeat medicine and dosage and you can choose the ones you need.

We do not take repeat prescription requests over the phone or email.

You can usually collect your prescription from the pharmacy 5 to 7 working days after you have ordered it.

You will need to choose a pharmacy to collect your prescription from. We call this nominating a pharmacy.

You can change your nominated pharmacy at any time:

• On the app or website where you order repeat prescriptions
• At your GP practice
• At any pharmacy that accepts repeat prescriptions

If you have questions about your medicine, your local pharmacists can answer these. They can also answer questions on medicines you can buy without a prescription.

The NHS website has information on how your medicine works, how and when to take it, possible side effects and answers to your common questions.
