From 1 February 2026 patients will need to order their repeat prescriptions themselves. If your pharmacy normally orders your prescription for you then this will no longer be possible, unless we have made an exception for you. You can use your NHS Account (via the website or app) to quickly and easily order your prescriptions. The short video below shows how to do this.
If you prefer not to use an NHS Account then you can submit your request using our online form linked at the top of the page.
Sometimes we might need to give you a medication for a long time, or even for the rest of your life. We provide this as a repeat prescription. This means you do not have to see somebody every time you need more medication. We authorise a fixed number of prescriptions you can have before we need to see you again for a review.
We ask patients on repeat medication to visit the practice at least once a year for a review. A notification should appear on your repeat slip when this is due. We may also send you an invite by text message. Please book your review appointment quickly to avoid any delays to further prescriptions.

We will generally not give you a prescription for over-the-counter (OTC) medicines for a range of minor health conditions.
This is because of government policy to reduce the amount of money the NHS spends on prescriptions for treating minor conditions that usually get better on their own.
