Order your Repeat Prescriptions

Repeat Prescriptions

With the agreement of your GP, you can get repeat supplies of regular medicines without having to see a doctor every time.

Requests must be made in writing to avoid mistakes and misunderstandings. We do not accept ordering over the phone.

It is important to request your prescription at least 2 working days before you run out of your medication. If you need an emergency prescription, contact the 111 service.

Requesting Prescription

These are ways to order your repeat prescription:

  • NHS App (preferred) – registered users can order repeat prescriptions directly in the app. If you need the Linkage Key for your account, please complete this form.
  • Website – complete this form
  • In person – hand your repeat slip in at reception with the required items clearly marked.
  • By email – gmicb-mh.prescriptions@nhs.net
  • By post – send it to us with a stamped addressed envelope and we’ll post it back to you.

Please note:

  • Please allow two full working days for prescriptions to be processed and remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account.
  • You may require a medication review before the prescription is issued, so make sure you request your medication in good time.
  • Any order placed after 12:30pm will be processed on the next working day (Monday – Friday).
  • If you need extra medications that more than you are normally given, for example going on holiday, please specify the reason in your request, or speak with our practice pharmacist to obtain a special approval.

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to review their regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip.

Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.

Prescription Charges

These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.

If you will have to pay for four or more prescription items in three months, or more than 14 items in twelve months, you may find it cheaper to buy a PPC.

There is further information about prescription exemptions and fees on the NHS website.
Extensive exemption and remission arrangements protect those likely to have difficulty in paying charges (NHS prescription and dental charges, optical and hospital travel costs).

The NHS prescription charge is a flat-rate amount which successive Governments have thought it reasonable to charge for those who can afford to pay for their medicines. Prescription prepayment certificates (PPCs) offer real savings for people who need extensive medication.
