Ordering a repeat prescription
Please follow the guidelines and choose the right option for you.
Requests handed in before 11am will be ready by 11am next working day, between 11am and 3pm will be ready by 3pm next working day, after 3pm will be treated as if handed in next morning
We regret that it is not possible to take repeat prescriptions over the phone nor do we accept requests from third parties such as pharmacists as we have found this leads to errors, duplications and items not needed being issued.
- Special arrangements can be made for patients with particular difficulties which may include delivery via a local pharmacy but only following authorisation by a doctor at the surgery.
- If you have access to a computer or smart phone the easiest way of managing your repeat prescription is to register for online access and order electronically and have your script sent directly to your preferred pharmacist. Please make sure you allow sufficient time for the pharmacist to process this and ensure your supply of medication for any holidays.
- If it is not convenient for you to collect your prescription please provide a stamped addressed envelope and it can be posted back to you. Please make sure you allow sufficient time for postal delay and ensure your supply of medication for any holidays.
- If you are using the electronic request form, please remember only authorized items maybe requested in this way and any reminders/requests for review must still be observed.
When you order a prescription online, you can have it sent electronically to a pharmacy of your choice. This is called a nomination.

Questions about your prescription
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.
If you would like to speak to someone at the GP surgery about your prescription, please contact us.

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.
