Prescriptions

You can order repeat prescriptions by:

• Using the GP online system via the link at the top of this page

The account shows you all your repeat medicine and dosage and you can choose the ones you need.

You can also:

• Drop the right-hand side of your prescriptions into our postbox at the front door of the surgery, see our opening times here
• Phone our Prescription line Monday - Friday between 11am and 12pm ONLY.

Please allow 48 hours before collection you prescription  

You can usually collect your prescription from the pharmacy 3 to 5 working days after you have ordered it.

You will need to choose a pharmacy to collect your prescription from. We call this nominating a pharmacy.

You can change your nominated pharmacy at any time:

• at your GP practice
• at any pharmacy that accepts repeat prescriptions

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)

Medication reviews

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.

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