How to Order a Prescription

Please always allow 5 working days for your surgery to send your prescription to the Chemist (or if you wish to collect your paper prescription from the surgery).

Your Chemist will require an extra 1-2 working days to prepare your prescription.

If your Chemist has your mobile number, they will text you when your prescription is ready.

Please do not phone the surgery to chase your prescription.

**The fastest way to get your prescription is using your NHS App or NHS login **

Remember – if you’re using NHS App or NHS Login, you can check when your GP sent your prescription to the Chemist.
