Repeat prescriptions

To order a repeat prescription

 

  • Use the NHS App/NHS Login
  • Use your local pharmacy order and collect service.
  • Use the repeat ordering slip on your previous prescription. Leave it at the surgery or post it to us.

We do not take prescription requests over the telephone.

Your prescription will be ready for collection 3 days after your order has been received. Only order a repeat prescription if you have less than 7 days of medication remaining.

Electronic prescriptions service (EPS)

If you get regular prescriptions or are already using a prescription collection service (where a pharmacy collects prescriptions from your GP practice for you) then choosing a pharmacy to dispense all your prescriptions may save you time by avoiding unnecessary trips to your GP.

You will still order your repeat prescriptions in the same way as you do now, but your prescriptions will be sent electronically to the pharmacy or dispenser of your choice.

You will not have to collect a paper repeat prescription from your GP practice.

If you need urgent advice about your medication outside our surgery hours, please call NHS 111.
