Repeat Prescriptions

To request a repeat prescription, please follow the guidelines and choose the right option for you.

Please allow 48 hours (two working days), excluding bank holidays, for your prescription request to be processed.

We do not accept repeat prescription requests over the phone.

Ordering a Repeat Prescription

Use Online Services

The simplest and quickest way to order your repeat medication is by using our online services which link directly to your prescription record at the Practice.

Your Local Pharmacy

Pharmacy Ordering / Collection Service

Pharmacies offer a prescription collection service from our Practice

Your pharmacy can also order your medication on your behalf. This saves you time and unnecessary visits to the Practice. Please contact the Pharmacy of your choice for more information if you wish to use this service.

Locate your local pharmacy

In Person

You can order in person by returning the right-hand half of a previous prescription for the required medications.

Alternatively you can submit a handwritten request. You may also write out an order for someone else, providing you include the patient’s name and date of birth and requested medication.

By Post

You can post your prescription slip or written request to us at the Practice

You must include a stamped addressed envelope for return by post if you will not be able to pick up your prescription from the Surgery. Please allow at least seven days if requesting your medication by post.

Medication Review

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner, clinical pharmacist or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip. Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.

Please allow two full working days for prescriptions to be processed and remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account.

Private Prescriptions

Patients are responsible for paying the cost of any private prescription following a referral to a private consultant.

GPs are not required to provide an NHS prescription for this or to continue to prescribe.

However we may consider converting routine private prescriptions into NHS prescription once we have received a letter and the treatment is on the recommended list of medications from the Camden Medicines management team and in line with local guidelines.
