The easiest way to order your repeat medications is online. To register for online services and for more information please speak to a member of our reception team. If you are already registerd for online services please click the 'Order your repeat prescriptions online' option above.
If you need to take medication regularly your doctor may make a repeat prescription arrangement. You can obtain your repeat prescription by calling into the surgery with a written request or by posting your request to us. We regret we are unable to take requests for repeat prescriptions over the telephone.
Alternatively, you can order your repeat prescription via the NHS App or directly through this site if already registered with SystmOnline. If you would like to use this service and need some support with getting started please speak with a member of our reception team.
Please ensure that the items you require are requested clearly by ticking the appropriate box on the request form. Occasionally you will be asked to make an appointment with the doctor or nurse in order to review your medication.
Please only order the medication that you require and let us know if there are items on your repeat medication list that you no longer take. We will arrange for these items to be removed.
