Patients can order prescriptions online via the link at the top of this page. Registration is available by calling at reception ONLY and photographic ID is required before a user profile can be created.

You can also:

• ring the Practice on 028 94 464936
• bring the paper form to the surgery

Acute prescriptions

Scripts for acute illnesses (i.e. needed the same day), should be ordered from reception before 11am. If ordered after 11am, the script may be collected at the surgery after 5:30pm that day or after 10am at the designated pharmacy the next day.

You can usually collect your prescription from the pharmacy 3 to 5 working days after you have ordered it.

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

If you have questions about your medicine, your local pharmacists can answer these. They can also answer questions on medicines you can buy without a prescription.

The NHS website has information on how your medicine works, how and when to take it, possible side effects and answers to your common questions.

• Go to Medicines A to Z (nhs.uk)

Medication reviews

If you have a repeat prescription, we may ask you to come in for a regular review. We will be in touch when you need to come in for a review.

Take it to the pharmacy you got it from or bring it in to the surgery. Do not put it in your household bin or flush it down the toilet.

Many pharmacies are open until late and at weekends. You do not need an appointment.

Most pharmacies have a private consultation room where you can discuss issues with pharmacy staff without being overheard.
