Prescriptions

How do I order my Repeat Prescription?

All medications can be ordered:

Repeat prescriptions will be ready for collection within 2 working days. Acute prescriptions will be ready after 3 days.

If you are unable to come to the surgery please send a stamped addressed envelope so we can post it to you. Uncollected prescriptions for over a month will be destroyed or the patient will be advised to see GP if required.

Your prescription will go to the same place as your previous prescription, unless you specifically notify us to the contrary. This now also applies to ‘special requests’.

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to consult with a pharmacist, a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications. The notification date should appear on your repeat slip.

Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions. If you have been advised by the surgery that your medication review is due, you will need to fill out our Medication Review Form.

Electronic Prescription Service (EPS)

The Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) is a NHS service that allows us to send your prescription(s) directly to your chosen pharmacy. This paper-free prescription service means that you do not have to come into the surgery to collect your prescription.

We encourage all patients to register for this free service. You can register for electronic prescribing by completing our EPS registration form.
