Prescription Request
Prescription Apps and online ordering
The use of an app or an online platform makes life easier. Many systems will provide a quick and efficient way to order your repeat prescription online, without having to pop in to your GP and hand in a paper repeat. Many such apps and platforms will also allow more streamlined communication with your GP practice, for example to check test results or book appointments. Systmonline is one of many such systems which GPs are now turning to, but there are many others, each with their own advantages. In the age of an increasingly paperless society, where the vast majority of NHS prescriptions are issued in the form of an online prescription, there has never been a better time to order prescription online.

Frequently asked questions...
That’s easy: look on the internet, arrange for a pharmacy to receive your prescriptions electronically from your GP (see below). See how they do for yourself, and then stay with them or move to another pharmacy.
Of course, but you might do better to look for a “pharmacy near me” instead, as Pharmacists and Pharmacies are trying their best to move away from the image of being a “Chemist”, since prescriptions are only a part of what we do nowadays.
*3 working days is an estimated time. We aim to complete the process in this time, but on 5-10% of occasions delays from GP surgeries may extend the time taken.
For many years, paper prescriptions have been declining to make way for electronic prescriptions, which are paperless. If you are given a paper prescription, for example from an NHS prescription, then by all means come and see us and we will dispense it. In all likelihood, especially if it comes from your GP, your prescription will be electronic and therefore paperless. It will be sent directly to your nominated pharmacy. You control the nomination, so you get to choose which pharmacy it will go to.
You can ask a GP to nominate a pharmacy, or for a pharmacy to put a nomination in place on your behalf. Any nomination stands until it is cancelled, and your prescriptions will continue going to that pharmacy unless you decide to change that.
