Prescriptions

Order repeat prescriptions via the NHS App or NHS website, and have them sent to a pharmacy of your choice.

Learn more about the NHS App

I don't always order the same medicine each time and the NHS App isn't allowing me to make a repeat prescription request. What should I do?

We are aware that the NHS App has limitations when it comes to making requests for items that you do not need every time. 

If you’re looking to request an item like this, check out the other options below.

Order your repeat prescription via our online Repeat Prescription form.

You don’t need an account to use our online form.

Pharmacy Ordering / Collection Service

Pharmacies offer a prescription collection service from our Practice.

Please allow an extra 2 working days for your pharmacy as they will need time to prepare your medications.

Your pharmacy can also order your medication on your behalf. This saves you time and unnecessary visits to the Practice. Please contact the Pharmacy of your choice for more information if you wish to use this service.

About pharmacists

As qualified healthcare professionals, pharmacists can offer advice on minor illnesses such as:

• coughs
• colds
• sore throats
• tummy trouble
• aches and pains

They can also advise on medicine that you can buy without a prescription.

Find a pharmacy

You can order in person by returning the right-hand half of a previous prescription for the required medications.

Or you can submit a handwritten request. You must include your name, date of birth and requested medication.

Place your request in the prescription box next to our Information Desk. 

You may also write out an order for someone else. You must include their name, date of birth and requested medication.

You can post your prescription slip or written request to us at the practice.
