Repeat Prescriptions
Ordering a Repeat Prescription
- Please allow us 72 hours to process your prescription request.
- Please note that we do not renew prescription requests over the phone.
When you order a prescription online, you can have it sent electronically to a pharmacy of your choice. This is called a nomination.
Your Local Pharmacy
Pharmacy Ordering
Your pharmacy can also order your medication on your behalf. This saves you time and unnecessary visits to the Practice. Please contact the Pharmacy of your choice for more information if you wish to use this service.
About pharmacists
As qualified healthcare professionals, pharmacists can offer advice on minor illnesses such as:
- coughs
- colds
- sore throats
- tummy trouble
- aches and pains
They can also advise on medicine that you can buy without a prescription.
The NHS App
Order repeat prescriptions via the NHS App or NHS website, and have them sent to a pharmacy of your choice.
Use Online Services
You can order your prescription through online services.
In Person
By dropping the repeat prescription slip into the post box just inside the surgery entrance.
Please make sure that you have ticked the boxes of all drugs needed.
By Post
Post your request into the surgery.
If you enclose a stamped addressed envelope we will post the prescription back to you.
Please give 2 weeks for the Hackney post.
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.
The NHS website has information on how your medicine works, how and when to take it, possible side effects and answers to your common questions.
If you would like to speak to someone at the GP surgery about your prescription, please contact us.
Further prescriptions information
Medication reviews
When you order your repeat prescriptions, we take the opportunity to review your medical problems. This means, every so often, you may be requested to visit the Doctor or Nurse for a review appointment or to have a blood test. If you request a new drug or a change in dosage of your medication, you will probably be asked to come and see the doctor for a medication review.
Prescriptions charges
What to do with old medicines
Take it to the pharmacy you got it from or bring it in to the surgery. Do not put it in your household bin or flush it down the toilet.
Repeat contraception
If you are ordering a repeat prescription for your contraceptive pill, patch or ring, you will need to complete a self-assessment form.
A paper version of this form is available from reception.
Getting the pill without a prescription
Some pharmacies offer the contraceptive pill for free without you needing to see a doctor or nurse for a prescription. Find a pharmacy that offers the contraceptive pill without a prescription.
