How to order a repeat prescription
Repeat Prescription Requests
You can order your repeat prescription in one of the following 6 ways:
- use the NHS App
- ask your pharmacy
- request online using accuRx. Click 'I have an admin query' then 'repeat prescription request'.
- via Patient Access
- post a note through our letter box during opening hours.
Regardless of the method you use to request your prescription please allow 2 working days for us to process it. Make sure you plan ahead if you are going on holiday or there is a bank holiday coming up.
If you request your prescription too soon we may reject it as we cannot allow patients to stockpile their medication. We recommend that you submit your request 5 days before you are due to run out.
If you have a blister pack please request your new medication at least 7 days before you are due to run out so the pharmacy has time to put the blister pack together.
If you are requesting blood pressure medication please give us a recent blood pressure reading using accuRx - click 'I have an admin query' then 'I need help with something else'.
You must name the exact medication(s) you require.
We encourage patients that can to use electronic methods of ordering their prescription.
