Request your repeat medication

Did you know you can manage repeat prescriptions from in the NHS App?

You can easily choose where your prescriptions are sent. So, if you know you'll be away from home or you are moving home, you can change your nominated pharmacy from within the app.

You can also order your prescription at any time that suits you. There’s no need to wait to join a telephone queue or wait until the GP surgery opens.

It’s easy to use, and, if you hit a snag, you can go to ‘Help’ in the top right-hand corner of the app or visit nhs.uk/helpmeapp. Find out more about the NHS App at: www.nhs.uk/nhsapp

You can also visit your local pharmacy who can arrange to have your prescriptions delivered directly to them, avoiding the need to visit the practice.

Prescriptions for over-the-counter medicines

  • You can buy over-the-counter medicines in pharmacies, supermarkets, and some high street shops.
  • GPs, nurses, and pharmacists will not generally give you a prescription for over-the-counter medicines.
  • Your local pharmacy offers help and clinical advice to manage minor health concerns. If your symptoms suggest it’s more serious, they will help you get the care you need.

Please help the NHS to use resources sensibly.

This advice is in line with national guidance from NHS England.
