Non-urgent advice: Medication Reviews
If you have a repeat prescription, we may ask you to come in for regular review. We will be in touch when you need to come in for a review.
Ordering repeat prescriptions
The easiest ways to order repeat prescriptions are:
- by email
- using your NHS App
These accounts show you all your repeat medicine and dosage and you can choose the ones you need.
You can also:
- fill out a repeat prescriptions request form
- bring the paper form to the surgery, Monday to Friday from 8:30 am to 6.30pm
Collecting your prescription
You can usually collect your prescription from the pharmacy 2 working days after you have ordered it.
Questions about your prescription
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.
If you would like to speak to someone at the GP surgery about your prescription:
