Prescriptions
Ordering a repeat prescription
- Please allow us 48 hours (two working days), to process your prescription request.
- Please note that if your prescription request is not on your repeat prescription your request will take longer to process and the doctor may wish to speak with you.
- Delays may also occur if your medication request is different from what your doctor has prescribed for you.
- We do not accept repeat prescription requests over the phone.
When you order a prescription online, you can have it sent electronically to a pharmacy of your choice. This is called a nomination.
Order online
For the fastest way to order your repeat medication, use one of the following options:
- Use your NHS account (through the NHS website or NHS App)
- Order using our online service
- Request a repeat prescription online

About pharmacists
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.
In person
You can order in person by returning the right-hand half of a previous prescription for the required medications. You may also write out an order for someone else. You must include the patient's name, date of birth and requested medication.
Or you can post your prescription slip or written request to us at the Practice. If you're unable to collect your prescription from the surgery, please include a stamped, addressed envelope for return by post. Please allow at least seven days if requesting your medication by post.
Questions about your prescription
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.
If you would like to speak to someone at the GP surgery about your prescription, please contact us online.

What to do with old medicines
