The easiest ways to order repeat prescriptions are:

• using your NHS account (through the NHS website or in the NHS App)
• using the GP online system, Patient Access, via the link at the top of this page.

These accounts show you all your repeat medicine and dosage and you can choose the ones you need.

You can also:

• fill out a repeat prescriptions request form
• bring the paper form to the surgery - see our opening times here

Please note that, for reasons of safety, we do not accept telephone requests.

Please allow two working days (48 working hours, do not include Saturday or Sunday as they are non-working days) for your request to be processed.

You may ask for your prescription to be collected by a local pharmacy. You can also have your prescription posted back to you by supplying a stamped addressed envelope or by simply calling in to collect it.

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.

• Go to Medicines A to Z (nhs.uk)
