Prescriptions
Repeat Prescriptions
You can order your prescription in the following ways:
- In person - Please use the post box in the doorway and not the reception, this will reduce the number of people entering the reception area and keep time on site to a minimum.
- By post - send it to us with a stamped addressed envelope if you want us to post it back to you.
- Online - Please select the link at the top of this page or if you are not registered please use the Repeat Prescription Form Below.
- Chemist - your local chemist may offer a collection and delivery service.
Medication Requests are not accepted over the telephone.
Housebound patients can contact their local pharmacy many of which will make arrangements to collect and deliver prescriptions to the patient’s residence.
If you order your prescriptions on-line and would like a pharmacy to collect please notify the pharmacy that you would like them to collect your prescription and dispense the medication.
How long will your prescription take?
Please allow two full working days (48 Hours) for routine prescriptions to be processed and remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account.
Medication that requires re-authorisation will take longer due to the review process, please allow at least 72 hours.
Chasing Up Your Medication
If you have alowed the above timeframe please contact your Pharmacist first as often medication has been sent but not downloaded by the Pharmacy. If you use the NHS App this will tell you if you medication has has been approved.
