Prescriptions

Configure Prescription Details

The easiest ways to order repeat prescriptions are:

These accounts show you all your repeat medicine and dosage and you can choose the ones you need.

You can also:

  • fill out a repeat prescriptions request form
  • bring the paper form to the surgery, during opening hours then post your repeat prescription slip in the box at prescription collection box at the surgery. We do not take repeat prescription requests over the phone or email.

It is your responsibility to request your repeat medications, or if your pharmacy offer a repeat prescription order service, you can ask them to do this on your behalf.

The surgery will not automatically issue prescriptions without receiving a request.

Collecting your Prescription

You can usually collect your prescription from the pharmacy 3 to 7 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.

Alternatively, you can ask the phamacist associated with the practice by contacting the surgery

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.

If you would like to speak to someone at the GP surgery about your prescription:

  • phone our pharmacist after 10am on 0151 691 1112
  • Or submit a PATCHs form
