Repeat Prescriptions
Ordering a Repeat Prescription
Please follow the guidelines and choose the right option for you.
Please allow us 48 hours (two working days), to process your prescription request.
Should you require a prescription urgently, please let the receptionist know.
If you have run out of medication please see your local pharmacy and not the 'out of hours department. This service is for emergency/urgent care only.
We do not accept repeat prescription requests over the phone.
When you order a prescription online, you can have it sent electronically to a pharmacy of your choice. This is called a nomination.
The NHS App
Order repeat prescriptions via the NHS App or NHS website, and have them sent to a pharmacy of your choice.
Use Online Services
The easiest way to order your prescription is by using our online services.
