Ordering Prescriptions during the COVID -19 Pandemic
We would encourage patients not to visit the surgery during this time to drop repeat prescription requests into the surgery.
A number of options are available to you to order your repeat prescriptions
- If you have patient online access you can order your prescriptions on line
- If you are not already registered for patient access you can download the NHS App via Apple App Store or Google Play . This will ask you for forms of identification before your account is activated ( but no need to visit the surgery- it can all be done via the App)
- You can post your repeat prescription request to us
- We are in the process of setting up a dedicated email address for this purpose
- Please ensure you tell us which pharmacy you would like your prescription sending to .
- For those of you required to self isolate you may wish to ask your pharmacy about delivery services.
- Polite plea; whilst we appreciate that there may currently be problems buying paracetamol over the counter , we would ask that you do not request a prescription for this from your GP. The only exception to this may be patients who have a chronic musculoskeletal problem who need this medication regularly and have previously bought their paracetamol over the counter.
