Prescriptions
Ordering repeat prescriptions
The easiest ways to order repeat prescriptions are:
- using your NHS account (through the NHS website or in the NHS App)
- using Patient Access
- using our e-consult system HERE
These accounts show you all your repeat medicine and dosage and you can choose the ones you need.
You can also:
- fill out a repeat prescriptions request form online (see below)
- bring the paper form to the surgery, Monday to Friday from 8:30am to 6.30pm
Please allow up to 5 working days before collecting your prescription from us. The chemist will need time to dispense your medication in addition to this.
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.
