Repeat Prescriptions

If you are on regular treatment, requests for repeat prescriptions can be made in the following ways:

  • By bringing your repeat prescription counterfoil to the surgery and placing it in the prescription request box.
  • By sending your request by post, enclosing a stamped addressed envelope for its return.
  • By ordering online via the link above. To use SystmOnline, you will need to come into the surgery to register so you can be given a user name and password. You cannot register for this service online or by phone because your identity needs to be verified. Click here for more information.
  • By using the NHS APP

Electronic Prescribing Service

This practice is set up for the electronic prescription service.

This means that for most patients we can send your prescription to your chosen chemist directly saving you having to come down to the surgery.

To get your prescription sent to your chosen pharmacy you will have to ask reception to sign up.

Collections

Your prescription will be ready for collection 48 hours later after 17:00, excluding weekends and bank holidays. For example, a request left on a Friday, will be ready for collection the following Tuesday, after 17:00.

If you request that your prescription is sent electronically to a pharmacy, then you will need to contact the chemist to find out when they will have it ready. Once the prescription has left the practice, we have no control over how soon it will be ready to collect. 

If you wish a chemist to deliver your prescription, please contact the pharmacy directly. The practice cannot arrange prescription delivery.
