Prescription Ordering Posted or Updated on 28 May 2024

We would like to respectfully remind all of our patients that we do not accept prescription requests over the telephone, the only exception to this are patients who are registered clinically housebound and are regularly visited at home by a GP.

Please do not call reception to ask for this service as you will be refused. 

You can order your repeat medication by signing up to the NHS APP - NHS App and your NHS account - NHS (www.nhs.uk) - download for free on the Apple Store or Google Play from a smartphone to order your repeat prescriptions.

All prescriptions are sent electronically to your nominated pharmacy via the Electronic Prescribing Service (EPS) rather than you needing to collect a paper prescription from the surgery.
