Prescriptions

Order your repeat prescription by phone

You can order your repeat prescription by calling our prescription order line. The phone number is 01670 570 162.

Please allow up to three working days for your request to be completed. Most pharmacies will deliver to your home. You can arrange this directly with your pharmacy. There may be a fee for this.

Our prescription service is automated. A member of our team will process the request the next working day.

Order your repeat prescription online

You can order repeat prescriptions via SystmOnline or the NHS App. Ordering your prescription online is easy and quick.

Nominating a pharmacy

When you request a prescription online, you can have your prescription sent electronically to a pharmacy of your choice. This is called choosing a pharmacy (it’s also known as nominating a pharmacy).

Once you choose a pharmacy:

• You’ll no longer need to collect paper prescriptions from your GP surgery
• Your chosen pharmacy will receive your prescriptions until you change or remove it

You can choose a local pharmacy by using the NHS App or logging in to the NHS website using a web browser. You can also use the NHS app and website to change your nominated pharmacy.

If you prefer to use an online-only pharmacy, which sends your prescriptions to you in the post, you must register with them through their website or contact them directly.
