Ordering repeat prescriptions

The easiest ways to order repeat prescriptions are:

• using your NHS app 
• You can fill out a repeat prescriptions request form.
• You can also attend Reception and hand in your paper prescription request
• Please note due to patient safety considerations, we do not take repeat prescription requests over the telephone.

Collecting your prescription

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:

• on the NHS app or website where you order repeat prescriptions
• at any pharmacy that accepts repeat prescriptions

Questions about your prescription

If you have questions about your medicine, your local pharmacists can answer these. They can also answer questions on medicines you can buy without a prescription.

The NHS website has information on how your medicine works, how and when to take it, possible side effects and answers to your common questions.
