Repeat Prescriptions
https://www.nhsapp.service.nhs.uk/login Please use the NHS App To access online repeat prescriptions.
How do I install and use the NHS App click here If you do not have a Smart mobile telephone you can use the NHS web page Click here
Alternatively if you do not have any online access you can fill out a repeat request form and place in the repeat prescription box.
Non-urgent advice: Note
Telephone requests for repeat prescriptions are not accepted because of the risk of errors.
In all cases, please allow 3 full working days for online (NHS App) and 5 working days for paper requests to be processed before collecting from your nominated pharmacy.
Please check regularly that you have enough medication and request repeat prescriptions in good time, particularly around busy periods such as Bank Holidays but should not be ordered no more than 7 days before they are due.
If you forget to obtain a prescription for repeat medication and thus run out of important medicines, you may be able to get help from your Pharmacy. Under the Urgent Provision of Repeat Medication Service, Pharmacists may be able to supply you with a further cycle of a previously repeated medicine, without having to get a prescription from your GP.
If you have run out of important medication, telephone your usual Pharmacy to check that they offer this service; if they don’t, they may either direct you to another Pharmacy who does provide it, or ask you to phone 111 where you can request details of a local Pharmacy that provides the service.
You must then take with you to the relevant Pharmacy, proof of both your identification and of your medication (for example, your repeat prescription list or the empty box which should have your details printed on it). Please note that controlled drugs and antibiotics are not provided through this service, you will need to ring 111 for these.
If you receive stoma products from your Pharmacy or other supplier and/or receive items such as continence products, please ensure you have sufficient supplies as you may encounter difficulties in obtaining these over Bank Holidays, or when the Surgery is closed.
