Repeat prescriptions

If you are on continuous medication authorised by your doctor, you can order a repeat prescription.

To order a repeat prescription

• Order Prescriptions via phone through Prescription Ordering Direct. (Please note call waiting times are shorter Tuesday to Friday.)
• Use your NHS account (on the NHS website or in the NHS app).
• Use your Systmonline account
• Use the repeat ordering slip on your previous prescription. Leave it at the surgery or post it to us.

Medication reviews

We are keen to ensure that patients with ongoing medical problems are monitored regularly. If the date for your next review with a doctor or nurse has passed you will be asked to make an appointment.

Local pharmacies

Many local Pharmacies now offer a “collect and deliver” service for patients who need regular medication. You can telephone and register with one of these, and all you have to do then, is let them know when you have ordered prescriptions, and they will collect these from us, dispense them, and deliver them to you. More information of Pharmacies that offer this service can be obtained from reception.

Introduced in 2006 was a Repeat Dispensing Scheme. This allowed patients having regular medication to have their prescriptions issued for 6 or 12 months. This is done in conjunction with Local Pharmacists and may mean you do not have to visit the surgery everytime you need a repeat prescription.
