Prescriptions

We need a minimum of 72 hours (three working days) to process your prescription request.  This does not include Saturdays, Sundays, and Bank Holidays.

Order repeat medications via the NHS Wales App.

Download the App – you must have a fully verified NHS Login, or a valid photo ID to prove who you are and be aged 16 or over.

Don’t worry, you can still order via My Health Online for a short time until you download the New NHS Wales App.

 

Other Ways to Order

  • Through your pharmacy.
  • Give your repeat order slip to the surgery with items clearly ticked.
  • By post, we can post your prescription back if you provide us with a stamped addressed envelope.

Medication reviews

We have a duty to review your health and medicines regularly.  We will let you know if you need to make an appointment for a medication review with either our practice nurses or your doctor.

If you need urgent advice about your medication outside our surgery hours, please call NHS 111.

 

Prescription Dispensing

We are not a dispensing practice.  We operate a repeat prescription ordering service in conjunction with many local pharmacies.  Your participating pharmacy will arrange to collect your prescription and you can collect your dispensed items at the pharmacy, or in some cases the pharmacy will arrange home deliveries.  Please contact your pharmacy to arrange.
