Repeat prescriptions are common in the UK, especially in older patients. Being able to get your medications easily and on time is important to maintaining a better quality of life. Occasionally, you may also need to take an acute prescription.

Acute Prescriptions vs Repeat Prescriptions
If you’ve ever had an infection, your GP may have given you a prescription for a short course of antibiotics to treat it. Your infection was expected to be cleared by the end of your prescription without the need for any refills.
This would classified as an acute prescription. Acute prescriptions are limited prescriptions that are meant to treat a temporary or short-term ailment. They may be one-off prescriptions or have a limited number of refills.
Repeat prescriptions, on the other hand, are medications that are taken on a regular basis. They are generally prescribed to help patients manage a chronic or long-term condition. Examples of repeat prescriptions include diabetes medications, blood thinners, or anti-depressants.
How to Get Repeat Prescriptions in Bloxham and Chipping Norton
One of the benefits of repeat prescriptions is how easy requesting refills can be. You can do this in person at your GP surgery, but electronic prescriptions are faster and more convenient for most patients.
Your GP surgery may have an online portal where you can request your medications whenever you need a refill. You can also open an account on the NHS app or another NHS approved app and manage your medications there.
Before you request your medications electronically, you’ll need to nominate your preferred pharmacy with your GP. Once approved, your GP will send the prescription to your preferred pharmacy for them to dispense your medications.
