Repeat prescriptions can be ordered in a number of ways:
- Use the NHS App or NHS login
- In person – hand your computerised repeat slip into reception with the required items clearly marked.
- By post – send it to us with a stamped addressed envelope and we’ll post it back to you.
- Online – if you have registered for online services
- By Pharmacy – contact your local pharmacist to order your medications
Please note: Due to the Data Protection Regulations, we no longer take repeat prescription requests over the telephone. However, patients can also make arrangements with local pharmacies for electronic transfer of prescriptions from the practice to the pharmacy and collection/delivery of their prescription medication if they have difficulty collecting it themselves. Speak to your local pharmacist to for more information.
Medication Reviews
Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a Doctor, Practice Nurse, or Health Care Support Worker at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip. Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.
Please allow two full working days for prescriptions to be processed and remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account.
