How to order your repeat prescription at Stovell House Surgery
Ordering a repeat prescription
The following points are intended to help achieve an efficient system, both for our patients and for us. Unfortunately, we are unable to take requests over the phone, except for housebound patients with permission from the Practice Manager, it is all too easy to make mistakes; also the calls block the very busy surgery telephone lines.
Please allow 48 working hours - though they may be ready sooner.
We will happily send your prescription to you if you attach a stamped addressed envelope with your request.
Prescriptions can now be sent electronically to any pharmacy of your choice we just need a postcode
When you order a prescription online, you can have it sent electronically to a pharmacy of your choice. This is called a nomination.
The NHS app
Order repeat prescriptions via the NHS App or NHS website, and have them sent to a pharmacy of your choice.
In person or by post
- Please use the tear-off computer-printed slip
- Please write separate requests for each person (otherwise we might miss someone)
- Please use the name of the drug(s), not a description!!
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.
If you would like to speak to someone at the GP surgery about your prescription, please contact us.
