Prescriptions
Please follow the guidelines and choose the right option for you.
Ordering repeat prescriptions
The easiest way to order repeat prescriptions is:
- using our online service, SystmConnect
This account shows you all your repeat medicine and dosage and you can choose the ones you need.
We do not take repeat prescription requests over the phone or email.
Collecting your prescription
You can usually collect your prescription 7 working days after you have ordered it. The surgery has no control over when your pharmacy dispenses 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 app or website where you order repeat prescriptions
- at any pharmacy that accepts repeat prescriptions
Questions about your prescription
If you have questions about your medicine, your local pharmacists can answer these. They can also answer questions on medicines you can buy without a prescription.
The NHS website has information on how your medicine works, how and when to take it, possible side effects and answers to your common questions.
