Repeat prescriptions

You can order repeat prescriptions online using the NHS App. If you do not have the NHS App downloaded go to Set up NHS login to get started.

Please allow two working days to turn around your order, and remember to contact the chemist directly if you wish to change your nominated pharmacy. This is where the prescription will then be sent electronically.

Guide to Obtaining repeat Prescriptions

1. Antibiotics will not be issued without seeing, or discussion with, a doctor.
2. Please allow 48 hours for repeat prescriptions to be issued. Also note that items needing further review/information (i.e. results, hospital correspondence) may take longer.
3. Where there is doubt about a request for medication i.e. ordering too early, the request may be rejected, you will need to log back in using your user ID to check this.
4. Repeat prescriptions is usually issued for 28 days. All repeat prescriptions are reviewed after 12 months. You may be asked to see a doctor or nurse before your medication is re-authorised.
5. If medication is changed (e.g.) following hospital admission, we will need to confirm this change in writing.
