Prescriptions

Ordering repeat prescriptions

You can order repeat prescriptions online:

• Using your NHS account (through the NHS website or in the NHS app)
• In Person – using your previous script or a form available at reception

These accounts show you all your repeat medicine and dosage and you can choose the ones you need. 

All repeat prescription requests take 72 hours, please plan accordingly.

Nominating a pharmacy

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:

• Online, on the app or website where you order repeat prescriptions
• At your GP practice
• At any pharmacy that accepts repeat prescriptions

Medication reviews

If you have a repeat prescription, we may ask you to come in for a regular review. Please book a routine appointment for your review.

What to do with old medicines

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.
