Prescriptions

Ordering a repeat prescription

The quickest and easiest way to request your repeat prescription is using your NHS account (through the NHS website or in the NHS App).

We do not accept repeat prescription requests via email. If you require access to order prescriptions on behalf of a child or relative please ask us about Proxy Access to order online prescriptions.

Collecting your prescription

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

The NHS app

Order repeat prescriptions via the NHS App or NHS website, and have them sent to a pharmacy of your choice.
