We have simplified the repeat prescription process on our website.
Find your surgery above. Click on “Order my prescription”. Fill in your details. And then submit the form. That’s it!
Your request will go to your surgery. And your GP will issue the prescription within a few working days.
It is best to place your repeat prescription’s request at least 5 working days before you run out of medication.
This allows time for your GP to authorise the prescription(s) and for our pharmacy team to dispense your medication .
