We ask that you give us 2 working days notice to prepare your prescription. Home delivery services are available from a number of local pharmacies, and you should liaise with them directly to see if you are eligible for this service.
Please note we do not accept prescription requests over the phone or via email for safety reasons. You can order prescriptions via the online services provided by the NHS App, MyGP App or Patient Access. These apps send your request straight into our clinical system and you are able to track the progress of your prescription.
Nominating a pharmacy
You will need to choose a pharmacy to collect your prescription from. We call this nominating a pharmacy.
You can change your nominated pharmacy at any time:
- Online, on the app or website where you order repeat prescriptions
- At your GP practice
- At any pharmacy that accepts repeat prescriptions
Medication reviews
If you have a repeat prescription, we may ask you to come in for a regular review. Please book a routine appointment for your review.
Collecting your prescription
You can usually collect your prescription from the pharmacy 3 to 5 working days after you have ordered it.
Questions about your prescription
If you have questions about your medicine or your prescription please contact the surgery.
Your local pharmacists can also answer any questions about your prescription. They can answer questions on medicines you can buy without a prescription.
