Ordering repeat medication

We’ll send your prescription to any pharmacy you choose. Our reception team can help you change your pharmacy, or you can do it through the NHS App.

Ordering acute medication

Some medicines are for one use and given by your doctor. These are acute prescriptions. You can’t order them like your usual medicine. Contact the surgery if you think you need more.

Medication reviews

Patients on repeat medication will have their medication reviewed at least once a year. A notification should appear on your repeat prescription slip when this is due. Certain medications will require blood tests to monitor your condition.

Please ensure that you attend your medication review when it is due to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.

Over-the-counter medications

Our doctors usually won’t give you medicine you can buy yourself. This is government policy. You can find a list of these medicines by clicking here.
