Prescriptions

You can order your repeat prescription in the following ways:

• Online ordering via smartphone app or computer
• Dropping your repeat prescription request off at the GP practice
• Posting your repeat prescription request to your GP practice
• Click on the photo opposite to submit an online request 

We do not take repeat prescription requests over the phone or by email.

The practice needs three working days to process a prescription request. Most pharmacies need an additional 2 working days to dispense your medicines. We recommend ordering medication at least 3 working days in advance.

If you need advice about your medication, your pharmacist can help. They can also answer questions on medication  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 common questions.

If you would like to speak to someone at the GP surgery about your prescription:

• phone the surgery between 10:00 and 2:00 pm

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

If you have medicines that have passed their expiry date, take them to your pharmacist, who can dispose of them safely for you. You should never throw unused or expired medicines in the rubbish bin or flush them down the toilet.

As qualified healthcare professionals, pharmacists can offer advice on minor illnesses such as:

Many pharmacies are open until late and at weekends. You do not need an appointment.

Most pharmacies have a private consultation room where you can discuss issues with pharmacy staff without being overheard.
