Prescriptions
You can order an NHS repeat prescription from your pharmacy by using our online system.
Find out how to get a repeat prescription online, how much prescriptions cost and how your local pharmacist can help you without having to see your GP.
How to order a repeat prescription
You can get a prescription online. Use NHS App to order a repeat prescription. You will need to choose a pharmacy to prepare your prescription and collect your medication from.
You will also need:
- An online account
- The name of the medication and dosage
Alternatively you can complete our online repeat prescription form
To make sure we prescribe repeat medicines safely, we cannot process requests over the phone.
If you are unable to use the above online methods and find it difficult to attend the surgery to request in person, please get in touch and we will try to accommodate your requirements.
Nominating a pharmacy
When you order a repeat prescription online, you will have to nominate a pharmacy to prepare your prescription and for you to pick it up from.
You can nominate a pharmacy by using the NHS App or logging into the NHS website using a web browser. A high street pharmacy is where you collect your prescriptions in person. If you have chosen an online-only pharmacy, then they will send your prescription in the post.
If you order your prescription online:
- You will no longer need to collect paper prescriptions from our surgery
- Your nominated pharmacy will have your prescriptions ready to collect until you change or remove them.
For more information about nominating a pharmacy, visit the Nominating a Pharmacy page on the NHS website.

How your pharmacy can help
Pharmacists are qualified healthcare professionals who can help you with minor health concerns. They can offer medical advice and over-the-counter medicines for minor illnesses like coughs, colds, tummy problems and aches and pains.
For symptoms that are more serious, we suggest visiting your GP or nurse. You can book an appointment by going to our Appointments page.
