Requests for repeat prescriptions should be made on weekdays and they will normally be ready in 2 working days.

If you get regular or repeat prescriptions, you could save time by switching to electronic Repeat Dispensing (eRD). eRD sends your prescriptions electronically from your GP surgery to a pharmacy of your choice. It’s easy to use and you don't need a computer or electronic device. Ask your GP or pharmacist to set it up for you.

• Order medication before you run out
• Use the list on the right side of your prescriptions to order repeats; this can be dropped into the box in reception.
• Alternatively order online via the link at the top of this page. New users are required to complete a simple registration.
• Please do not order medicines by phone.
• Please do not order medicines before they are due.
• Please do not send children to collect prescriptions unless you have signed a consent form.
• If you would like the prescription to be posted to you, please provide a stamped addressed envelope.
• If you are asked to see a nurse or doctor when ordering a repeat, please come into the surgery before you order them again.
