Prescriptions

If you are receiving regular treatment you can obtain your repeat prescription without seeing the doctor. You may, however, be asked to see the doctor on occasion to ensure everything is as it should be.

To order your repeat prescription, either return the paper repeat slip or you can fill in our online order form: [link currently unavailable] Alternatively, you can register with the NHS or the online Patient Access system to request your repeat prescriptions.

To create an account or login to order repeat prescriptions visit:
NHS Website – www.nhsapp.service.nhs.uk/patient
Patient Access – www.patient.emisaccess.co.uk
If you have a Smart Phone, you can also download the NHS or Patient Access apps from your phone’s app store.

When ordering repeat prescriptions, please supply the name of the medication required, the dosage and quantity needed. This information can be found on the right-hand side of the printed label on your medication. If you are using the NHS or Patient Access websites or apps, your repeat prescriptions will show automatically. You can also enter text if you have any requests or notes.

If you collect your repeat prescriptions from your GP you will not have to visit your GP practice to pick up your paper prescription. Instead, your GP will send it electronically to your nominated pharmacy of choice’

Please allow 48 hours (two working days) for your prescription to be prepared and allow 24 hours for your chemist to prepare your medication. Prescriptions ordered after 4pm including online orders will not be processed until the following working day.

Unfortunately, we do not routinely fax prescriptions to any Pharmacy due to concerns relating to data protection and information governance.
