It has never been easier to order a repeat prescription. Choose a pharmacy with online dispensing and then set up an account online. If you don’t have a computer then your GP surgery can do this for you.
Once the medication is added to your account, you can order a repeat prescription online and the pharmacy will request the medicines from your GP. All you need to do is allow around 48 hours notice for the prescription to be approved, a bit longer if it is a weekend or public holiday.
NHS repeat prescriptions can be set up online for a defined period, usually anything up to six months at which point the pharmacit will trigger a Medication Review which necessitates an appointment with your GP. This is to check key factors like blood pressure if relevant and to make sure that the medication is still of value and that your condition has not changed.
