Ordering repeat prescriptions
The easiest ways to order repeat prescriptions are:
- using the NHS website or the NHS App at any time
- using our online Accurxform between 7am and 6.30pm
- using our online Systmonline form (for this service you will need to apply for access via the reception team)
- Posting your paper repeat slip in the outside letter box
(sorry but we are unable to take requests over the phone).
These accounts show you all your repeat medicine and dosage and you can choose the ones you need.
We do not take repeat prescription requests via email.
Collecting your prescription
You can usually collect your prescription from the pharmacy 3 to 5 working days after you have ordered it.
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 app or website where you order repeat prescriptions
- at your GP practice
- 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.
Not sure when your prescription will be ready to collect? Most pharmacies will offer a text messaging service which will inform you when your prescription is ready. You can also view if your prescription has been approved by the GP by checking the “view and manage prescription” tab in the NHS app.
If you would like to speak to someone at the GP surgery about your prescription contact us via our online system or call in to see our dispensary team between 8am-12pm then 1.30pm-6pm.
Medication reviews
If you have a repeat prescription, we may ask you to come in for a regular review. We will be in touch when you need to come in for a review. From April 2025 we will be changing how we call patients for their annual long term condition reviews, rather then calling you at different dates throughout the year we will contact you and ask you to book the review during your birthday month. During the first year to 18 months, this could mean you coming earlier or later then you expect, you may be called twice in one year to bring you in line with your birthday month.
Prescription charges
Find out about prescription charges on the NHS website.
What to do with old medicines
Take it to the pharmacy who dispensed your medication, only bring it to the Surgery if we dispensed the medication. Do not put it in your household bin or flush it down the toilet.
