Prescriptions

Ordering repeat prescriptions

From 15th January 2024, we are no longer accepting hand-written repeat prescription requests. 

You can order your repeat prescription by:

  • Requesting your medication on the NHS App or  Patient Access app 
  • Submitting an admin query via the ‘contact us online’ button at the top of this page
  • Requesting your medication from your pharmacy either by telephone or in person

Please note you must give your repeat prescription order a minimum of three working days to be completed. 

Please be advised that we typically do not notify patients when medications have been signed off. To check if your medication is ready to collect, please contact your nominated pharmacy. 

If you are requesting a prescription early, please specify in detail the reason for this on your request.

Requests cannot be accepted over the phone because of the risk of mistakes.

Pharmacy services

Your local pharmacy can offer advise on minor illnesses such as:

  • Coughs
  • Colds
  • Sore throats
  • Tummy troubles

Your pharmacist can also offer advise on medicines you can purchase without a prescription.
