Ordering repeat prescriptions
The easiest ways to order repeat prescriptions are:
- using your NHS account
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 8:30am to 6.30pm
We do not take repeat prescription requests over the phone or email. All prescription requests will be processed in 48 hours.
Collecting your prescription and nominated pharmacy
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:
- at any pharmacy that accepts repeat prescriptions
- on the NHS app
- at your GP practice
