Prescriptions

We understand how important it is to deal quickly and accurately with your prescription requests. We have also made the ordering process as simple and flexible as possible.

Requesting prescriptions

Ordering In Person

You can request your items by placing your re-order form in our prescription request box situated next to our reception desk, or posting your form to us.

Ordering on the Internet

Patients are now advised to use the NHS App as this not only allows you to order repeat medications but also lets you see more information about recent consultations, appointments etc.

Some of our patients find that it is easier to order their prescriptions online.

If you would like to register for this service, please complete our online form and then bring proof of address and photo ID to the surgery

Prescription processing time

We endeavour to process your repeat prescription requests as soon as possible but please allow at least a minimum 48 hrs (2 working days) processing time.

Please remember to order your items early if you are going on holiday and to keep in mind dates when the practice is closed such for bank holidays and practice training dates.

We do not operate an Urgent Medication facility – if you run out of medication, pharmacies can issue an emergency supply of repeat medication if you take an empty box for their information.

Chemist Collection Service

Most of the local chemists run a collection service and are happy to pick up your prescription from the surgery. To save confusion, please be clear whether you would like this to happen when ordering your items.

Prescriptions can also be sent electronically to a chemist of your choice.  To nominate your chosen pharmacists please use our online services. Please contact your chosen chemist for advice on prescription process time.

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.

If you have been advised by the surgery that your medication review is due please use our online form.

Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.
