Prescriptions
Please follow the guidelines and choose the right option for you.
Ordering a repeat prescription
- Please allow us 48 hours (two working days, excluding weekends and Bank Holidays) to process your prescription request.
- We ask that you leave sufficient time for your repeat prescription to be issued before your current supply of medication runs out. Please also remember to plan ahead when you are going away on holiday or for over a Bank Holiday.
- 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.

Ways to order
Order in person
Using a repeat slip or piece of paper with medications listed and handed to the surgery reception or put in the letter box outside the surgery (this can be done by a friend or family member on your behalf)
Pharmacy ordering
We will no longer be accepting prescription requests from Pharmacies on behalf of patients. You must request prescriptions yourself via the surgery. This is to improve patient safety and to enable us to keep accurate patient records.
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.

Medication reviews
If you have a repeat prescription, we may ask you to come in for a regular review. We will be in touch when you need to come in for a review.

What to do with old medicines
Take it to the pharmacy you got it from or bring it in to the surgery. Do not put it in your household bin or flush it down the toilet.
