Questions about your prescription
If you have questions about your medicine, your local pharmacists can answer these. They can also answer questions on medicines you can buy without a prescription.
If you would like to speak to someone at the GP surgery about your prescription:
- Phone the practice on 01642 477133 after 2pm daily.
We have a prescription clerk available who will be available to discuss any queries, however if they are unable to resolve your query it will be handed over to the practice pharmacist or GP.
Order a repeat prescription
You can order repeat prescriptions online:
- Using your NHS account(through the NHS website or in the NHS app)
- Using the GP online system -SystmOnline
These accounts show you all your repeat medicine and dosage and you can choose the ones you need.
You can also:
- drop a request slip into the Practice post box, which is on the wall outside.
We no longer accept repeat prescription requests over the phone or email, except for patients registered as housebound or agedover 80 whocan ring the normal phone line to request their prescriptions.

You will need to choose a pharmacy to collect your prescription from. We call this nominating a pharmacy.
You can change your nominated pharmacy at any time:
- Online, on the app or website where you order repeat prescriptions
