Repeat Prescriptions

Last Updated: Wednesday, 03 April 2024

To order repeat prescriptions online:

  • Use your NHS account through the NHS website or in the NHS app. These show you your repeat medicine and dosage so you can choose the ones you need. 
  • Bring the paper form to the surgery, Monday to Friday, from 8.30am to 6.30pm
  • Email the Surgery at GP.N82048@nhs.net (please not we will not reply that we have received. You will receive an automated message)

We don’t take repeat prescription requests over the phone.

Collecting your prescription

You can usually collect your prescription from the pharmacy 2 working days after you have ordered it.

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:

  • On the app or website where you order repeat prescriptions
  • At your GP Practice
  • At any pharmacy that accepts repeat prescriptions

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.

If you would like to speak to someone at the GP surgery about your prescription:

  • Contact the Surgery to make an appointment with the Practice Pharmacist

Medication reviews

If you have a repeat prescription, we may ask you to come in for a regular review. We will be in touch when you need to come in for a 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.

  • Sore throats
  • Tummy trouble

Many pharmacies are open until late and at weekends. You do not need an appointment.

Most pharmacies have a private consultation room where you can discuss issues with pharmacy staff without being overheard.
