You can look at your prescriptions and request repeat prescriptions via NHS Online.
This service is also available via the NHS App.
Apple: NHS App in the App Store
Android: NHS App in the Google Play Store
If you are still using Patient Access you can continue to do so, but would encourage changing to the NHS service above.
Please note, we only permit repeat prescriptions to be requested over the phone by those registered as housebound. All other patients must either request repeat prescriptions online or by dropping a request into the box located at the reception desk. This results in a faster turnaround for your prescription.
