Prescriptions and Medicines

 

There are a range of services available through the practice and through the community pharmacist for getting your repeat prescriptions or medicines that you need.

How to order your repeat medications

Prescriptions are now issued electronically and sent to a pharmacy of your choice. This means that they will go directly to the pharmacist of your choice without the need for paper.

If your medicines are listed on your "repeat prescription" list, you can request them through the following ways. Any other medication requests will require an appointment with our in-house clinical pharmacy team.

Please make sure to request them a week in advance, and allow 2 working days for collection.

To nominate a pharmacist, use the NHS App, or speak directly with the pharmacy of your choice, and they can do this for you.
