Important - Electronic Prescription System
We have a system which sends your repeat prescription to your chosen Pharmacy.
Please visit your local pharmacy and ask them to nominate your surgery. We can then send your repeat prescription to the pharmacy for you to collect from them.
You can order your prescription in person at the surgery, posting the paper slip into the box at the surgery or using our online access:
Click here to contact your GP via PATCHS

You can use the NHS App to order your prescriptions from your smartphone or tablet
If you already use online access you can continue to use it. You can use the NHS App as well.

Repeat Prescriptions
Repeat prescriptions may be issued in agreement with your doctor.
We do not take phone requests unless you are housebound.
Please allow 2 full working days before collecting the prescription
We can post your prescription to you if you provide us with an SAE.
Your medication should be reviewed annually, more often if the doctor recommends. You will be advised of this date. The review appointment should be separate from other queries.
