Online Repeat Prescriptions

Nominating a pharmacy
All our prescriptions are issued via an electronic prescription service and are sent straight to a pharmacy. 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:
- Using the app or website where you order repeat prescriptions
- At your GP practice
- At any pharmacy that accepts repeat prescriptions

If you have questions about your medicine or your prescription please contact the surgery.
Your local pharmacists can also answer any questions about your prescription. They can answer questions on medicines you can buy without a prescription.
