Ordering Repeat Prescriptions
To order your repeat prescription(s), you can:
Online Prescription Requests:
Use the NHS App or Contact us Online to order prescriptions and collect your medications from your nominated pharmacy, or if available, arrange delivery.
To order medication online in the UK, you must use the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) by nominating a specific pharmacy to receive your prescription electronically from your GP surgery. This removes the need for paper prescriptions and allows you to collect your medicines directly from the pharmacy or have them delivered.
If you have not already nominated a pharmacy, please use the NHS App, contact the practice, or visit your chosen pharmacy and ask them to sign you up for EPS prescriptions.
Ordering Prescriptions in Person:
You can order your medications by dropping off your completed repeat prescription slip at the surgery. If the practice is closed, there is a post box located in the underpass leading up to the rear car park.
Ordering Prescription by Phone:
If you are unable to order online or by visit the surgery, you can call us to order your medications. To do this, please ring the practice and press option 2 to leave a voicemail with our dispensary team. When ordering prescriptions over the phone, please ensure you provide your name and date of birth, along with a list of each medication you need.
