Repeat Prescriptions

Our policy for repeat prescriptions is as follows:

  • Patients must provide the name and strength of the medication. 
  • GP appointments are not required for repeat prescriptions unless they have requested it.
  • Repeat prescription requests take 48 hours (2 working days) to process.

Repeat Prescriptions can be requested as follows:

Order online either via NHS app or Patient Access. New users need to contact the surgery who will email a registration letter to you.

Please note: if the practice has asked you to come for a blood test or review before you next prescription request, and you do not, your medication quantity may be reduced.

 

REPEAT PRESCRIPTION GUIDANCE FOR COMPLETION AND ISSUING

We schedule prescriptions for processing at 8 am  each day and aim to have repeat prescription items sent to your nominated pharmacy via EPS after 2 working days of ordering and this happens in the majority of cases. 

However, if a medication review is required some items may take longer to process.

If we require further tests before prescribing again, you will be asked to have the tests done before prescribing any further medication.

PLEASE NOMINATE A PHARMACY TO SEND YOUR PRESCRIPTION VIA EPS
