Ordering Repeat Prescriptions

The easiest ways to order repeat prescriptions are:

  • using the online system via the link at the top of this page.

  • by telephoning our automated service on 01292 475328 between 9.30am-11.30am or 1.30pm-3.30pm.

You can also:

  • leave a note of your repeat prescription request in the post box in the practice entrance. 

  • write in with your request (include a stamped addressed envelope please). 

 Please do not order repeat prescriptions more than 7 days in advance.

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.

Please note hospital prescriptions will be processed within 5 working days unless marked urgent by the hospital.

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.

 

Medication Reviews

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

What To Do With Old Medicines

You should take any old medication 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.

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.
