Ordering Prescriptions

 
 

 
Ordering Your Repeat Medication: We now ask that you order your medication via online services or using the NHS app.  We no longer take prescription requests by phone.  Please see below for further ways of ordering your medication if you are unable to use the online option.   We also ask that you nominate your regular pharmacy so that your prescription can be sent direct to them.
 
Via the NHS app - please self-register
Online by following the link on the right side of this page - preferred option
 
By post - send them to us and provide a stamped addressed envolope if you wish us to post them back to you.
Leave a written request in our post box or hand it in to our reception team
Repeat prescription requests received Mon-Fri before 12pm will be ready for collection in 2 working days, over bank holidays this may be longer so please order well in advance to ensure you do not run out of medication. 
If you need to  order prescriptions when the practice is closed, please order online or by post. If you need urgent medication please use the GP out of hours service or the Walk-In centre. You may also be able to get some urgent medications from your pharmacy. 
 

 
Most chemists offer a service where they collect your repeat prescription from your surgery & dispense your medication ready for you to collect. Please ask your Pharmacist.  If you have asked for your prescription to go to a pharmacy you must contact them and ask them to collect it from the surgery.
 
At the moment other family members/friends are able to collect your prescriptions on your behalf. If you want this to continue please complete the following form: Consent to Collect Prescriptions
 
If you do not want someone else to be able to collect your prescriptions in the future please tell us and we will put a note on your records that no one but you should be given your prescriptions by the surgery.
 
Occasionally one or more of your medications may be prescribed under a different name from the one you are used to taking. This is because the practice sometimes prescribes by generic (chemical) name rather than brand name. However, you can be assured that these drugs contain exactly the same active ingredients. If in doubt, please ask your Pharmacist.
 

 
Electronic Prescription Service - Nominated Pharmacy
 
This service lets your GP practice send your prescription electronically to the place you choose to get your medication or appliance from – without the need for paper in some cases. This means there is less need for people with repeat prescriptions to call at their GP practice just to collect a prescription form.
Patients can use the NHS App to nominate pharmacies
Patients can now view, set and change their nominated Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) pharmacy using the NHS App. 
Nomination removes the need for patients to collect FP10s from their practice and drop them off at a pharmacy. It also allows them to send their prescriptions to the pharmacy closest to their home or to one that can deliver their medicines.
This new feature does not apply to dispensing appliance contractors or patients registered at dispensing practices. To nominate an online-only pharmacy, patients must register with the pharmacy through their website or contact them directly.
