Prescriptions

Prescriptions

Ordering repeat prescriptions: 

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 

These accounts show you all your repeat medicines and dosages and you can choose the ones you need. 

You can also: 

  • Fill out a repeat prescriptions request form and bring this to the surgery 

We do not take repeat prescription requests over the phone

Collecting your prescription: 

You can usually collect your prescription from the pharmacy 3 to 5 working days after you have ordered it. 

You will need to choose a pharmacy to collect your prescription from. We call this nominating a pharmacy. 

You can change your nominated pharmacy at any time: 

  • on the app or website where you order repeat prescriptions 
  • at your GP practice 
  • at any pharmacy that accepts repeat prescriptions 

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. 

  • Go to Medicines A to Z (nhs.uk)

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

  • Fill in our medication query form

Medication Reviews:

From time to time, you will be advised to attend for a Medication Review, blood and/or urine tests, blood pressure checks etc so that we can continue to monitor your condition. If you do not attend for these, further prescriptions may not be issued.

Prescription Charges:

Find out more about prescription charges (nhs.uk)

What to do with old medicine: 

Take it to the pharmacy you got it from, do not put it in your household bin or flush it down the toilet.

About Pharmacists: 

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

  • coughs
  • colds
  • sore throats
  • tummy trouble 
  • aches and pains

They can also advise on medicine that you can buy without a prescription. 

  • Find a pharmacy (nhs.uk)

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.
