Repeat Prescriptions

Update: We will no longer be taking paper prescriptions from July 31st.

To order a prescription you can either;

Speak with the pharmacy you generally use and they will set up a standing order.
Ask for online booking at reception and you can order prescriptions via SystmOne App / NHS app.
Email your prescription request to m88038.prescriptions@nhs.net

Patients issued with a computerised order form for their medication are required to allow at least two working days when requesting a repeat prescription. The repeat prescription order slip tells you when your treatment should be reviewed and you should make an appointment to see the doctor before your medication runs out. The doctor will ensure that the medication you are taking is working correctly. We may refuse your medication if you do not attend for your review.

Ordering Repeat Medication

To order your Repeat Medication either:

Ask your local pharmacist to order it for you
Ask for online booking at reception and you can order prescriptions via SystmOne / NHS app.

If you have registered for our web-based online service you can order your repeat prescriptions online 24 hours a day.

We will not normally accept repeat prescription requests by phone.

We will not normally issue medication which is not on your repeat prescription record and for safety reasons, you will need to make an appointment to see your doctor for a review.

We will not normally allow children under 16 to collect prescriptions for other patients unless accompanied by an adult.
