Repeat Prescriptions
There are a number of ways to order your repeat prescriptions...
- Via Patient Access if you are registered for Patient Online Services
- Via this link or the link at the top of this page if you are not registered for Patient Online Services
- By requesting via your usual Pharmacy
- By posting your request to us by mail or by hand delivering to our external post box at our front entrance.
Collecting your prescription & the Electronic Prescription Services (EPS)
Regardless of the method used to order your medication, your prescription will be sent via the Electronic Prescription Service to your nominated pharmacy. As soon as your doctor has electronically signed your prescription it automatically goes to your nominated pharmacy, However, please note you need to allow time for the pharmacy to prepare your prescription before going to collect it.
Requesting prescriptions early due to holiday
If you are requesting a prescription early due to holiday, please can you provide us with your date of departure, how long you are away for and whether you will be in the UK or abroad as this will enable us to process your prescription appropriately.
Turnaround Time
Please allow 48 hours, excluding weekends and Bank Holidays, for your request to be processed by the surgery, you need to allow additional time for your chosen pharmacy to dispense your medication, it is therefore advisable to order your prescription one week before you run out of your medication. Please note this is for items that your doctor has authorised for repeat prescribing only. Items that are not on your repeat list may take longer.
