How to Order Prescriptions
Posted on July 8th, 2022
The quickest and easiest way to order repeat medication is via the NHS APP or other mobile applications.
- Check how many days of medication you have left before ordering your medication.
- Order repeat medication from your GP practice when you have 7 days of medication left.
- It usually takes the GP practice 2 working days to issue a prescription.
- Once the pharmacy receives the prescription it can take them 48 hours to prepare it.
- Remember to only order the medication that’s needed for the month.
- It’s not necessary to order medication every month for it to stay on repeat prescription.
- Speak to your pharmacy or GP Practice to organise for the prescription to be sent electronically.
- Speak to their pharmacy about what services they offer e.g., prescription collection and delivery.
- Please speak to your GP practice if you are unable to order repeat medication yourself, and don’t have someone else to help.
