Prescriptions

Welcome to our prescriptions centre, where you can find out how to order your repeat prescriptions, how to get a new prescription and information about prescriptions charges.

You can order your repeat prescriptions electronically through the links below. Please allow 2 working days for your prescription to be sent to the pharmacy of your choice. We suggest you allow the pharmacy at least 1 more working day to dispense your medication.​

The online services link with your record directly so that you can order exactly what you need. This makes requesting repeat prescriptions faster and easier. You can download the NHSApp from the App Store or Google Play. If you are not signed up to either of these services you can call our automated prescription service on 01909 500 233.

​Please note: We do not accept requests from pharmacies on your behalf, even via their own App.
