How to order prescriptions?
Prescriptions are best ordered online. You need to register to use our online repeat prescription ordering service. Please follow the advice on the Digital Support Page.
Repeat prescriptions can also be ordered by completing the right-hand section of your previous prescription form. You can either leave it at the surgery in the postbox at the front door or send it to us by post.
Your prescription will be ready for collection 48 hours later. If you prefer, we can post it back to you (you will need to provide a stamped, addressed envelope).

Commonly asked questions
What is the difference between Repeat Dispensing known as RD and repeat prescriptions?
Repeat Dispensing: The pharmacy holds a set amount of prescriptions issued by the GP (usually for 1 year) this medication can be dispensed monthly without a request being made to the GP each month. This automatically goes to your chemist without you asking for it. For example blood pressure medications.
Repeat Prescriptions: These require a request to be made monthly or weekly (depending on your prescription) in order for a prescription to be authorised by the GP.
There are some medications which cannot be on Repeat Dispensing (RD) for example moisturisers, inhalers, occasional medications. So you may have a combination of both Repeat and Repeat Dispensing items on your repeat prescription list.
