Order a repeat prescription

If you take Medicine regularly, you will usually have a repeat prescription.

This means that you can order your medicine when you need it without having to see a GP.

You cannot order repeat prescriptions by phone. This is to protect patient safety.

How to order

You can order a repeat prescription using:

  • The NHS app or website
  • Using an online form
  • In person at the surgery

Please allow 3 working days to process your request.

Order using the NHS app or website

The NHS app is a quick way to access NHS services. Using the NHS app means you do not need to enter your personal details each time you contact the surgery. You can read more about the app on the NHS website.

You can use your NHS account to order a repeat prescription.

You will need the NHS app or your NHS account login details.

Order repeat prescription using an online form

You can order a repeat prescription using an online form.

We recommend only using this form if you do not have access to other online services like the NHS app.

You will need to provide the name of the medication and dosage.

Order in person

You can order a repeat prescription in person at the surgery.

If you have a repeat prescription slip, you can drop it off at the prescription drop-in box.
