The easiest way to order your prescription is via the NHS app.
The NHS App gives you a simple and secure way to access a range of NHS services. You can download the NHS App on your smartphone or tablet via the Google play or App store. You can also access the same services in a web browser by logging in through the NHS website.
You can also request prescriptions by;
- using your online account
- using your paper repeat prescription slip
- emailing us or by attending the Practice in person
Please note we do not accept prescription requests by telephone. We must have all repeat requests in writing, or by using your nominated pharmacy. We require two working days’ notice for repeat prescriptions, excluding weekends and bank holidays. Arrangements can be made with local chemists that you have chosen for this service, so we can keep the appropriate details on your record.
Useful information
- Repeat prescriptions will be issued at the doctors’ discretion and are normally for patients on long-term medication.
- Your prescription should be ready for collection within 48 working hours (Monday to Friday).
- Most repeat prescriptions now go direct to your pharmacy of choice electronically although there are some drugs that still have to be issued on a paper prescription.
- Current NHS prescription charge (per item) is £9.90. Further information about prescription exemptions and fees can be found here.
Medication Reviews
We do regular virtual checks of medications on repeat prescriptions. If we need to discuss your medication we will contact you to make a telephone consultation.
