Prescriptions

Ordering repeat prescriptions

Repeat prescriptions can be requested as follows:

• By using our the NHS App, NHS App and your NHS account – NHS (www.nhs.uk)
• By asking if you can have a repeat dispensing where all your scripts are left at the chemist for 6 or 12 months, at your next medication review appointment.
• Using the medication list on the right hand side of your original prescription, by only ticking those items which you need and dropping it into the surgery through our prescription box.

Please allow 1 working week, excluding weekends and Bank Holidays, for your request to be processed. Any problems please telephone the surgery.

To avoid mistakes being made, we will not issue prescriptions by telephone request. If you are on stable, regular medication, ask your doctor about repeat dispensing. This enables you to leave your prescriptions at the chemist to collect without having to request them from the surgery.

If you want a repeat of a medication that is not on the right hand side of your prescription, you will need to write a note advising what you want, and why, and then post or hand this into the Surgery – alternatively you can use online contact by clicking on the ‘Admin’ option on the following link use accuRx.  If it can be issued then you should be able to collect the prescription in 1 working week.

If the medication cannot be issued, you will be told why and what to do next when you come to collect it but we do not have the capacity to call all the patients that request ad hoc medications.
