Prescriptions

Ordering repeat prescriptions

You can order repeat prescriptions online:

Using the NHS app or your NHS account (through the NHS website or in the NHS app)
Using the GP online system - Patient Access. To use Patient Access you will need a Practice ID number and Access ID number. Both can be obtained from the practice.

These accounts show you all your repeat medicine and dosage and you can choose the ones you need. 

You can also bring the paper form to the surgery

Allow two working days (48 hours) for the practice to process your repeat prescription.

Allow three working days (72 hours) when the week includes a Bank Holiday. Particularly busy times are both the Easter and Christmas holidays.

Request your repeat prescription in good time for the practice and pharmacy to act on the request.
