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

You can also order in the following ways: 

• By telephone - a telephone answering service is provided to enable patients to order their repeat prescriptions between 6pm and 9am and at weekends.  Please ring 02891 638744 and follow the instructions.

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

You can change your nominated pharmacy at any time:
