Ordering a repeat prescription
We've made it convenient for you to re-order your prescriptions. You have the following options
Use online services
The easiest way to order your prescription is by using our online services.
Dropbox submission
You can post the tear-off slip from your prescription in the blue box located in our waiting room.
Postal prescriptions
For added convenience, if you enclose a stamped self-addressed envelope, we will mail your prescription to you directly. Please note that you should allow a minimum of 5 working days between requesting and collecting your prescription, excluding weekends and bank holidays. If items are not on your repeat list, they may take longer to be ready.
Urgent requests for medication
Please be advised that we do not accept urgent requests for medication over the telephone. For such requests, kindly pick up a form from our reception and hand it back or use the form at the bottom of this the page. A GP will consider your request and if necessary, generate a prescription for collection. If not, it will be ready within 4 working days.
Alternatively you can complete our emergency medication request form
Patients 75 or over
If you are not registered for online services and 75 or over, you can use this form to request any repeat prescriptions from the Practice. Please allow 4 working days before collecting your prescription.

Prescription collection
Once you've ordered your prescription, it will typically be ready for pick-up from the pharmacy 4 working days later. Remember, you will need to nominate a pharmacy to collect your prescription from. You have the flexibility to change your nominated pharmacy at any time by contacting us or completing the online form.
Pharmacist consultation
If you have any questions about your medication, your local pharmacists are well-equipped to provide answers. They can also give advice on over-the-counter medicines. For additional guidance, the NHS website provides comprehensive information on your medicine, including how it works, dosage instructions, potential side effects, and answers to frequently asked questions.
Pharmacists, as qualified healthcare professionals, can also provide advice on minor illnesses such as coughs, colds, sore throats, tummy trouble, and aches and pains. They can advise on medicine that you can buy without a prescription.
Find a pharmacy using NHS Inform. Many pharmacies are open until late and at weekends, and you do not need an appointment. For your privacy, most pharmacies have a private consultation room where you can discuss issues with pharmacy staff confidentially.
