Prescriptions

We recommend you nominate a pharmacy to keep your journeys to a minimum. This way you can collect your medication from the pharmacy without having to collect a paper script first. You can choose any pharmacy you wish, and can change your pharmacy via the NHS app, eConsult or by speaking to the pharmacy you wish to choose. 

We process over 1500 prescription requests every week, and to do this safely we require at least 72 hours notice - 3 clear working days. Please order your prescriptions with plenty of time, as we may not be able to process late requests

Repeat Prescriptions

If you are on regular medication you may be able to order your prescriptions online through systmone online. 

Ordering repeat prescriptions with SystmOnline (via the link at the top of this page). To register for your username and password to access the new online prescription and online appointment booking system please bring photo ID to the surgery. 

If you are unable to book online please fill in a request form downloadable HERE.  Please leave the counterfoil or form in the silver collection box at the front of the building, or the green collection box on the gate. Please allow 72 hours for your prescription to be processed (after three full working days).

We do not encourage posting your prescription requests, as there is not guarantee we will receive this in the post. 

You may require a medication review, in which case you may be asked to book further tests, such as BP, blood tests, etc. So please request your prescription in plenty of time. 

Please note we cannot take prescription requests over the telephone.

In exceptional circumstances we will issue urgent prescription requests, please speak to reception. Please allow time for this to be processed, and arrange to collect collection after 6pm that day.

Clinical Pharmacists in Primary Care

Medicine's safety is becoming more and more of a talking point in the healthcare landscape. With patients taking a variety of medications, and some with complicated comorbidities, the impact and administration of these medicines need to be reviewed in much more detail. Clinical pharmacists are experts in managing medicines and are important members of the multidisciplinary team within primary care networks (PCNs) that will perform Structured Medication Reviews in your surgery. Structured Medication Reviews are designed to optimise patient outcomes and better manage medicine, including intervening on medications that may be causing side effects.
