Ordering a Repeat Prescription
Please follow the guidelines and choose the right option for you.
Please allow us 72 hours (three working days), to process your prescription request.
We do not accept repeat 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.

The easiest way to order your prescription is by contacting us online using Anima
Other ways to order online
There are several other online methods you can use to order your repeat prescription:
Your local pharmacy
Pharmacy Ordering / Collection Service
Pharmacies offer a prescription collection service from our Practice
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.
In person
You can order in person by returning the right-hand half of a previous prescription for the required medications.
Or, you can submit a handwritten request. You may also write out an order for someone else. You must include the patient's name, date of birth and requested medication.
By post
You can post your prescription slip or written request to us at the Practice.
If you're unable to collect your prescription from the surgery, please include a stamped, addressed envelope for return by post. Please allow at least seven days if requesting your medication by post.
Important
Requests should be made in good time so that you do not run out of your medication, but not too early or they cannot be issued. Do not stockpile medication by requesting more medication than you would normally need.
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.
Prescriptions Charges and Exemptions
Extensive exemption and remission arrangements protect those likely to have difficulty in paying charges (NHS prescription and dental charges, optical and hospital travel costs).
The NHS prescription charge is a flat-rate amount which successive Governments have thought it reasonable to charge for those who can afford to pay for their medicines. Prescription prepayment certificates (PPCs) offer real savings for people who need extensive medication.
When going abroad you can take your NHS medications with you.
Please visit the NHS website for the latest Prescription Charges
These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.
Further Information
Medication Reviews
Your medication will be reviewed annually by your registered GP. They will contact you if there are any issues they would like to discuss with you. The following drugs are some of those we may want to discuss so take some time to think about them in advance.
- Are you taking an Opiod (like Co-codamol, codeine, dihydrocodeine or tramadol)? Find out why these drugs may be causing you more harm than good.
- Are you taking a benzodiazepine or z-drug? Find out how you might gradually reduce your dose.
