Frequently asked questions
Read our FAQs about prescriptions.
How do I order a repeat prescription?
The easiest and fastest way to order repeat prescriptions is via the NHS App or through your nominated online portal. You can also drop a paper request slip into the surgery repeat prescription box. We do not accept routine prescription requests over the phone to ensure safety.
How long does it take for my repeat prescription to be processed?
Please allow 2 working days (48 hours) for our team to process repeat prescription requests, plus additional time for your nominated community pharmacy to dispense your medication.
What is a nominated pharmacy and how do I change it?
Electronic Prescribing (EPS) allows us to send your prescription directly to a pharmacy of your choice. You can set or change your nominated pharmacy anytime inside the NHS App or by letting our reception team know.
