Prescriptions

Ordering repeat prescriptions

The quickest and easiest way to request your repeat prescriptions is via the NHS app, alternatively, you can request your medication via your pharmacy or completing a paper request at the surgery.

Our preferred way of receiving repeat prescription requests is via the NHS app.

Please can you nominate a pharmacy of your choice to have your prescription sent directly there. You can do this by either letting us know or asking the pharmacist.

Repeat prescriptions are computerised and can be ordered either by posting or dropping your request into the surgery.

For safety reasons we cannot accept repeat prescription requests over the phone.

Please allow 5 working days notice for requests to be processed and ready for collection.
