Patients who have on-going medications need to order them regularly. Please make sure you order your prescriptions in good time. We aim to process them within 5 working days but it can take extra time if you want it collected by a local pharmacy, or if your medication has changed.
You can order your repeat prescription in several ways:
- Via the NHS App or Patient Access
- Submit a new request. Repeat prescriptions are an admin query.
- Returning the tear-off slip attached to your last prescription to the practice
We cannot accept requests over the phone as this can lead to errors being made.
We issue several hundreds of prescriptions every day for about 1500 of our patients each week. Ordering correctly and in good time helps us to process these more efficiently and safely.
Electronic Prescription Service
This is a very efficient and quick way for the surgery to send your prescription to a pharmacy of your choice electronically, rather than as a green prescription form. You will need to nominate a pharmacy you would like to use and ask them to sign you up to the system. YOU WILL STILL NEED TO REQUEST YOUR MEDICATION IN ONE OF THE WAYS LISTED ABOVE.
