Repeat Prescriptions

 

To request a repeat prescription, please follow the instructions below and choose the right option for you.

Please allow 48 hours (two working days), excluding bank holidays, for your prescription request to be processed by the Practice. The pharmacy will then require additional time to process your prescription. 

Our preferred method of requesting repeat prescriptions is online, either via the NHS app or Patient Access, as detailed below.

Please note that we do not accept repeat prescription requests over the phone. 

Ordering a Repeat Prescription

When you order a prescription online, you can have it sent electronically to a pharmacy of your choice. This is called a nomination.

About pharmacists

Find a pharmacy

In Person

You can order in person by returning the right-hand half of a previous prescription for the required medications.

Or, you can submit a handwritten request. You may also write out an order for someone else. You must include the patient's name, date of birth and requested medication.

By Post

You can post your prescription slip or written request to us at the Practice.

If you're unable to collect your prescription from the surgery, please include a stamped, addressed envelope for return by post. Please allow at least seven days if requesting your medication by post.

Medication Queries

If you have any queries regarding either of the above, please speak to a member of our reception team and they will be happy to help. If you have difficulties accessing the NHS app or patient access you can order your repeat prescription via our online Repeat Prescription form. No account required.
