Ordering a Repeat Prescription
To request a repeat prescription, please follow the guidelines and choose the right option for you.
Please allow 72 hours (three working days), excluding bank holidays, for your prescription request to be processed.
We do not accept repeat prescription requests over the phone.
Use Our Online Services
The simplest and quickest way to order your repeat medication is by using our online services which link directly to your prescription record at the Surgery.
Your Local Pharmacy
Pharmacy Ordering / Collection Service
Some pharmacies offer a prescription collection service from our Surgery.
Your pharmacy can also order your medication on your behalf. This saves you time and unnecessary visits to the Practice. Please contact the Pharmacy of your choice for more information if you wish to use this service.
In Person
You can order in person by returning the right-hand half of a previous prescription for the required medications.
Alternatively you can submit a handwritten request. You may also write out an order for someone else, providing you include the patient’s name and date of birth and requested medication.
By Post
You can post your prescription slip or written request to us at the Practice.
Your prescription will be sent to your nominated pharmacy.
Repeat Dispensing
If you, or someone you care for, use the same medicines regularly, you may be able to benefit from repeat dispensing from your pharmacist. This means you won't have to visit the surgery every time you need more medicines. The service is also referred to as the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS)
