Patients on long-term medication and eligible for repeat prescriptions can order in a number of ways:

• Online – if you are registered for online services you can make a request through the NHS App. Register for online services to order repeat prescriptions, make and cancel appointments, change contact details, review medications and known allergies.
• In Person – drop your repeat slip in at reception with the required items clearly marked.
• By Post – send it to us remembering to enclose a stamped addressed envelope if you want us to post it back to you.

Please allow 2 complete working days before collecting your prescription and make allowances for weekends and public holidays.

Please note: We are not able to take prescription requests over the telephone.

Batch prescribing

If you or someone you care for use the same medicines regularly you may not need to get a new prescription every time you need more medicine. Instead you may be able to benefit from Batch Repeat Dispensing from your pharmacy. This means you won’t have to visit the surgery or make an appointment to see the doctor, practice nurse or practice pharmacist every time you need more medicine. Talk to either your prescriber (doctor, practice nurse or practice pharmacist) or your community pharmacist who regularly dispenses your prescriptions and ask them if you are suitable for Batch Repeat Dispensing.

 Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip.
