Prescriptions
Please follow the guidelines and choose the right option for you.
Ordering a repeat prescription
The surgery requires 3 working days to issue and send a prescription, please check with your nominated pharmacy for approximate waiting times for dispensing. We would usually recommend requesting 5 to 7 days before you run out of medication.
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.
