Prescriptions

For medication which you need on a regular basis it may not be necessary to see a doctor to obtain your prescription.

• Items which are available for repeat ordering are shown on the white side of your prescription. When you need your medication tick the items you require and return the slip to us. Please enclose a stamped self-addressed envelope if requesting postal return of your prescription.
• Some of the local pharmacies offer a prescription collection and delivery service which you can enquire about at your local pharmacy.
• You can now order your repeat prescriptions online via the link at the top of this page. New users are required to complete a simple registration.

Please note - we do not take prescription requests over the telephone.

Your prescription will be ready for collection 2 working days later after 15:30 (except Bank Holidays).

Please help us by giving us your repeat prescription request in good time and try not to run out of medication and create a crisis for yourself.

We will not give prescriptions to children under 16 years for collection on behalf of others.

NHS APP

Alternatively you can download the NHS app, you can find out more information by clicking on the following link NHS App – NHS (www.nhs.uk).

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse or member of our pharmacy team at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip.

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