Ordering Repeat Prescriptions

 Did you know you can order your repeat perscriptions on the NHS App?

The benefits of this are: 

  • You can order any time of the day.
  • You don't need to call the practice and wait for a call back.

We ask that you allow for two working days to process all requests before collecting from your nominated pharmacy.

The NHS App has more benefits than ordering repeat medications. 

For more information about the NHS App or to get set up please contact reception after 09:00.
