Collecting your prescription

You can collect your prescription from the Practice or the Practice can send it directly to your nominated pharmacy.

You can usually collect your prescription from the pharmacy 72 hours after you have ordered it.

Only order a repeat prescription if you have less than 7 days of medication remaining.

You will need to choose a pharmacy to collect your prescription from. We call this nominating a pharmacy.

You can change your nominated pharmacy at any time:

  • On the app or website where you order repeat prescriptions
  • At your GP Practice
  • At any pharmacy that accepts repeat prescriptions

We can also post your prescription to you if you provide us with a stamped, addressed envelope.
