How can I order my Repeat Prescription?
The quickest way to order a repeat prescription is online via the NHS App/Website or through Patient Access:
Non-urgent advice: Please allow up to 2 working days (excluding weekends and holidays) for us to prepare your prescription and have it signed by a doctor
Please allow sufficient time to order your repeat medication so that you do not run out and it affords the Pharmacists more time to prepare your medication.
You can request your medication up to 7 to 10 days before you run out. In certain circumstances exceptions can be made, please contact the surgery by email to nhsnwl.prescriptionrequests@nhs.net.

Medication Queries
If you have a query about your medication the best place to go is your local pharmacy. Pharmacists are qualified medical professionals and experts in medication. They will advise you if your query needs to be sent to a GP.
If you do not have a usual pharmacy you can find your local one by visiting the NHS pharmacy finder website and entering your postcode. Find a pharmacy – NHS (www.nhs.uk)

Most pharmacies have a private room. This means you can discuss issues with pharmacy staff without being overheard.
What to do with old medicines
Take it to the pharmacy you got it from or bring it in to the surgery. Do not put it in your household bin or flush it down the toilet.
