You can also order a repeat prescription online without the NHS App. This option doesn't require any login or registration. 

Ordering Prescriptions in Person

You can order your medications by dropping off your completed repeat prescription slip at the surgery. If the practice is closed, there is a post box located in the underpass leading up to the rear car park.

Ordering Prescription by Phone

If you are unable to order online or by visit the surgery, you can call us to order your medications. To do this, please ring the practice on 01539 722660 and press option 2 to leave a voicemail with our dispensary team. When ordering prescriptions over the phone, please ensure you provide your name and date of birth, along with a list of each medication you need.

We are a dispensing GP practice which has a provision to dispense to patients who live at least one mile away from their nearest pharmacy.

Our Dispensary Team will be happy to answer any questions you may have about whether you qualify to have your medications dispensed by the Practice.

Please ring the practice to discuss this option on 01539 722660.
