Ordering repeat prescriptions
The easiest ways to order repeat prescriptions are:
- contacting us online with Accurx
- using your NHS account (through the NHS website or in the NHS App)
- using the GP online system: Patient Access
- by repeat slip or on paper – you can put your request in on paper by dropping it through the letterbox
These accounts show you all your repeat medicine and dosage and you can choose the ones you need.
We do not take repeat prescription requests over the phone or email.
Collecting your prescription
You can usually collect your prescription 2 working days after you have ordered it.
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:
- on the app
- by contacting us online with Accurx
- at any pharmacy that accepts repeat prescriptions

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.
