Ordering repeat prescriptions
We have an on-line appointments and prescriptions service. To sign up please attend surgery in person, with identification, to pick up your login details.
You can request a repeat prescription on-line (ask at reception to sign up to this free service), drop it off at surgery or Email to hillfoot.B86011@nhs.net. To minimise the risk of error reception staff do not take requests for prescriptions over the phone.
The easiest ways to order repeat prescriptions are:
- using your NHS account (through the NHS website or in the NHS App)
- using the GP online system: SystmOnline
- Email to hillfoot.B86011@nhs.net
These accounts show you all your repeat medicine and dosage and you can choose the ones you need.
You can also:
- bring the paper form to the surgery, Monday to Friday from 8:00am to 6.30pm
Our free Appointment and Prescriptions On-line service is available 24 hours a day and is especially useful for those times when the telephone lines are busy or the practice is closed. Patients can:
- Make, view and cancel GP appointments on-line;
- Request repeat medication on-line.
Collecting your prescription
You can usually collect your prescription from the pharmacy 3 to 5 working days after you have ordered it.
You will need to choose a pharmacy to collect your prescription from. We call this nominating a pharmacy.
You can change your nominated pharmacy at any time:
- on the app or website where you order repeat prescriptions
- at your GP practice
- at any pharmacy that accepts repeat prescriptions
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.
