Prescriptions
Ordering a repeat prescription
- Please make your request in good time – don’t wait until you have run out of medication.
- Please allow us 48 hours (two working days), to process your prescription request.
- We do not accept repeat prescription requests over the phone.
When you order a prescription online, you can have it sent electronically to a pharmacy of your choice. This is called a nomination.
The NHS App
Order repeat prescriptions via the NHS App or NHS website, and have them sent to a pharmacy of your choice.
Use Online Services
The easiest way to order your prescription is by using our online services.
In Person
You can order in person by returning the right-hand half of a previous prescription for the required medications.
Or, you can submit a handwritten request. You may also write out an order for someone else. You must include the patient's name, date of birth and requested medication.
By Post
You can post your prescription slip or written request to us at the Practice or hand it in to reception or through the letterbox.
If you're unable to collect your prescription from the surgery, please include a stamped, addressed envelope for return by post. Please allow at least seven days if requesting your medication by post.
Your Local Pharmacy
Pharmacy Ordering / Collection Service

About pharmacists
As qualified healthcare professionals, pharmacists can offer advice on minor illnesses such as:
- coughs
- colds
- sore throats
- tummy trouble
- aches and pains
They can also advise on medicine that you can buy without a prescription.
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.
The NHS website has information on how your medicine works, how and when to take it, possible side effects and answers to your common questions.
If you would like to speak to someone at the GP surgery about your prescription, please contact us.
Further prescriptions information
Medication reviews
There is a date printed on the counterfoil of your prescription. This is to remind the doctor to review your medication. If the doctor feels it is necessary, he or she may ask you to make an appointment to see them before your next supply of medication.
Over the counter medicines
Your GP, nurse or pharmacist will not generally give you a prescription for over the counter medicines for a range of minor health concerns.
Instead, over the counter medicines are available to buy in a pharmacy or supermarket in your local community.

What to do with old medicines
