Prescriptions

The easiest ways to order repeat prescriptions are:

• Use the NHS App - These show you your repeat medicine and dosage so you can choose the ones you need (You will not be able to see when your repeat prescription until 7 days before due)
• Use our 24/7 booking line 
• Pop request in the prescription box outside on the wall

You can usually collect your prescription from the pharmacy 3 to 5 working days after you have ordered it.

You will need to choose a pharmacy to collect your prescription from. We call this nominating a pharmacy.

You can change your nominated pharmacy at any time:

• on the app or website where you order repeat prescriptions
• at your GP practice
• at any pharmacy that accepts repeat prescriptions

If you have a repeat prescription, we may ask you to come in for a regular review. We will be in touch when you need to come in for a review.

The Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) is an NHS service. It gives you the chance to change how your GP sends your prescription to the place you choose to get your medicines or appliances from.

What does this mean for you?

You will have more choice about where to get your medicines from because they can be collected from a pharmacy near to where you live, work or shop.
