Prescriptions

The easiest ways to order repeat prescriptions are:

• using your NHS account (through the NHS website or in the NHS App)
• Using the request repeat prescription button below. 
• Dropping your prescription request off at the surgery. 
• Email your request to gmicb-bol.gp.p82023@nhs.net
• Complete an online form using Econsult 

These accounts show you all your repeat medicine and dosage and you can choose the ones you need.

Once you register online, please visit our Online Access page to fill in a declaration form.

Please note we do not take repeat prescription requests over the phone or email. 

Questions about your prescription

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)

If you would like to speak to someone at the GP surgery about your prescription please 01204 309206. 

Collecting your prescription

You can usually collect your prescription from the pharmacy 2 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

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.

What to do with old medicines

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.
