Order Repeat Prescriptions

The simplest way to request a repeat prescription is using the online system via the link at the top of this page.  You can also leave a request in the post box in our entrance vestibule or by telephoning our automated prescription line on 475328 (9.30am-11.30am and 1.30pm-3.30pm). 

Prescriptions will be processed within 2 working days and sent to your designated pharmacy.  Please note, your pharmacy can take up to 5 working days to process your request.  Please check collection times with your pharmacy.  

Hospital prescriptions will be processed in 5 working days by the practice pharmacy team, unless marked urgent by the hospital.

If you have questions about your medicine, your local pharmacists can answer these. They can also answer questions on medicines you can buy without a prescription.

The NHS website has information on how your medicine works, how and when to take it, possible side effects and answers to your common questions.

• Go to Medicines A to Z (nhs.uk)

If you have a repeat prescription, we may ask you to come in for a regular review. We will be in touch when you need to come in for a review.

You should take any old medication to the pharmacy you got it from. Do not put it in your household bin or flush it down the toilet.

As qualified healthcare professionals, pharmacists can offer advice on minor illnesses such as:

• coughs
• colds
• sore throats
• tummy trouble
• aches and pains

They can also advise on medicine that you can buy without a prescription.

• Find a pharmacy

Many pharmacies are open until late and at weekends. You do not need an appointment.

Most pharmacies have a private consultation room where you can discuss issues with pharmacy staff without being overheard.
