The easiest ways to order repeat prescriptions are:

• using your NHS account (through the NHS website or in the NHS App)

Your account will show you all your repeat medicines and dosage and you can choose the ones you need.

You can also:

• drop your repeat slip in at the surgery by hand to the dispensary (Open 8.30AM – 6.30PM [closed between 1PM -3PM])
• post your request to us via Royal Mail
• personally post the request in on of our 2 prescription boxes

We do not take repeat prescription requests over the phone or email.

You can usually collect your prescription from the dispensary one week after you have ordered it. 

During busy periods such as bank holidays and Christmas we ask patients to allow extra time for collection and we will accept repeat prescriptions requests earlier than usual. 

You may, from time to time, need to wait for your prescription, or find a queue at our dispensary window. We ask that you consider this when attending and remain patient and respectful to our staff. 

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.

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.

• Go to Medicines A to Z (nhs.uk)

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

• speak to a member of our dispensary team
• ask for an appointment with our clinical pharmacist
