Nominating a pharmacy

You will need to choose a pharmacy to collect your prescription from. We call this nominating a pharmacy.

You can change your nominated pharmacy at any time:

Online, on the app or website where you order repeat prescriptions
At your GP practice
At any pharmacy that accepts repeat prescriptions

Medication reviews

If you have a repeat prescription, we may ask you to come in for a regular review. Please book a routine appointment for your review.

Collecting your prescription

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

Questions about your prescription or medication

If you think there is something not quite right with your medication, please contact the practice/pharmacy as soon as possible to raise your concerns.

Your local pharmacists can also answer any questions about your prescription. They can answer questions on medicines you can buy without a prescription.
