How to order a repeat prescription

 

BACK TO MAIN INDEX

 

 We do not accept repeat prescription request over the phone

You can order your repeat medication through the following methods - please allow 2 working days for us to process your request and please remember to consider bank holidays and weekends, which are not classed as working days. 

The pharmacy may also require some time to process your request - please also take this into consideration when ordering medications.

  • via the NHS App
  • online consultation service
  • ask your pharmacy to order for you: Patients on long term repeat medication may be given a white slip to use to order repeat prescriptions with the pharmacy. When you pick up your repeat prescription, please enquire with the pharmacy as to the best process for them to order your medication for you. Find Your Local Pharmacy. 
  • submit a paper request to the surgery: A repeat prescription may be obtained by handing in your white repeat slip, completing a repeat prescription request slip at the practice or by posting it to the surgery.

Medication Reviews

Patients taking long term, regular medication will be asked to see a doctor, or a pharmacist at least once a year for an annual medication review. A notification will either appear on your repeat slip or you may receive a text message. Please ensure that you book an appropriate and timely appointment when requested to avoid unnecessary delays to future prescriptions being issued.
