Ordering a repeat prescription

We suggest wherever possible please make the request online via the surgery website or by using online services. 

Please give three working days' notice for repeat prescriptions with collection after 2pm on the fourth working day from your selected pharmacy.

Any requests received after 5pm will not be processed until the following day.

Please note we do not accept prescription requests over the telephone.

Weekends and bank holidays

Please note any requests for prescriptions that are sent on a weekend or Bank Holiday will not be processed until the surgery reopens.

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.

Medication reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a Clinical Pharmacist at least once a year to review these regular medications and you will be notified when you are due for a review and receive an appointment booking link.

Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.

What to do with old medicines

Take it to the pharmacy you got it from. Do not put it in your household bin or flush it down the toilet.
