Repeat Prescriptions
Instead of going around in circles, first to the surgery to order your medication and then back again to pick up your repeat prescription and then to the pharmacy and waiting whilst we make up your medicines, why not let us make it easier for you.
Repeat prescriptions offer many benefits, such as convenience and timely access to necessary medications for chronic conditions.

Order Your Prescription
How to order
Patients can order repeat prescriptions through their GP surgery using their NHS account, online services, or by contacting the surgery.
Repeat dispensing
If a GP has set up repeat dispensing, a patient may be able to ask their pharmacy directly for their medication.
Electronic repeat prescriptions
eRD allows a prescriber to authorize a batch of repeatable prescriptions for up to 12 months. The prescriptions are automatically downloaded to the patient's pharmacy at set intervals.
Emergency repeat medications
In clinically exceptional circumstances, NHS 111 may supply emergency repeat medications outside of hours.
Checking prescriptions
When collecting or having prescriptions delivered, patients should check the bag before leaving the pharmacy. If there are any medications that the patient doesn't need, they can return them to the pharmacy.
How to order a repeat prescription

You might be able to ask your pharmacy directly for your medicine if your GP has set this up (repeat dispensing). If not, you'll need to order your medicines through a repeat prescription from your GP surgery.
