Prescriptions

Although we don’t have a pharmacy on-site, our reception staff will be happy to direct you to the most convenient pharmacy for you. If you take medicine regularly, you’ll usually have a repeat prescription. This means you can order your medicine when you need it without having to see a GP until your next medicine review. You might be able to ask your pharmacy for your medicine if your GP has set this up (repeat dispensing). If not, you’ll need to order your medicines from your GP surgery each time. There are 3 ways to order a repeat prescription from your GP surgery.

Using your NHS account

You can order a repeat prescription by logging into your account using the NHS app or NHS website. If you’re asked to nominate a pharmacy, you can only nominate a high street pharmacy. You’ll be able to collect your medicine in person when it’s ready. Some high street pharmacies also deliver.

By speaking to your GP surgery

You do not need to see a GP to order a repeat prescription. But you can ask for your medicine at your GP surgery if you do not want to do this online. Ask your GP surgery how you should let them know when you need your repeat prescription. They can send your request to a pharmacy. You might be able to get your medicine sent to you if the pharmacy you have nominated offers that service. Or they might be able to let you know when it’s ready to collect.

If you require any other medication that is not on your repeat medication list then you will need to discuss this with a GP first. The easiest way to do this is by arranging a telephone consultation.

Please allow two working days for us to process your request. An extra day is needed if you want your prescription to be forwarded direct to a pharmacy ready for collection.
