Ordering a Prescription

Option 1: Talk to your pharmacist

The best and easiest way to organise your repeat medication is to ask your pharmacy. They may be able to request and pick up prescriptions from the surgery. In some cases they may be able to deliver it your house.

Option 2: Order your prescription online

Order your prescription online here.

Yu will need a user name and password. If you do not yet have these you will need to come to the practice reception in person to request them.

Option 3: Order your prescription in writing

Written requests for prescriptions can be made by:

bringing in prescription request form
sending an email request to abridge.surgery@nhs.net
posting a written request to us
post your prescription requests in the post box located outside by the main entrance. Please use the form (DOCX, 15KB) and return the completed form to the practice.

Make sure you provide details of your medication, including the exact drug name and dosage for each item.

We do not accept requests or issue prescriptions by telephone or fax.

The only exception for telephone requests are for housebound patients only.

It takes 72 hours (three complete working days) to process requests.

Remember to make allowances for weekends and public holidays. Try not to let your medication at home get too low or run out altogether.

We can arrange for your prescription to be sent electronically to your nominated chemist. Ask your pharmacist for details.

Questions about your prescription

If you have questions about your medicine or your prescription please contact the surgery.

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