From 1st October 2025 you will need to order your repeat prescription from your GP – not through your local pharmacy.

The NHS App is the safest and easiest way for you to request your repeat prescription. Ordering through the app will give you more control over your own healthcare and save you a trip to the GP practice.

Find out more at www.nhs.uk/nhsapp.

If you think you, or someone you care for, will struggle to order your own repeat prescriptions, please notify the practice as soon as possible.
