Call Prescription LineCheck that the medicine is on repeat
Repeat prescriptions are usually medicines your GP has already authorised for ongoing use. If the medicine is not on repeat, the practice may need a clinician to review it first.
Choose the best ordering route
Use Patient Access if active for you, askmyGP if you need to add a written note, or the prescription line if you prefer phone voicemail.
Give clear medicine details
Include the medicine name, strength if known, how many items you need, and whether anything has changed since your last prescription.
Tell the practice your collection pharmacy
The practice asks patients to say which pharmacy they will collect it from. This avoids delays and confusion after the prescription is processed.
Allow 72 hours before collection
Do not arrive at the pharmacy too early. The practice asks patients to allow 72 hours before collection, and the pharmacy may also need time to dispense the medicine.
Best patient habit: Order when you have around one week of medicine left. This gives the surgery and pharmacy enough time and reduces the risk of emergency medicine requests.
