Any medication you have requested and is not on your list of repeat medication will be referred to the Doctor and issued at their discretion.

• If the chemist is collecting your prescription from the surgery it is your responsibility to order the prescription and then notify the chemist

If you have a repeat prescription, we may ask you to come in for a regular review. We will be in touch when you need to come in for a review.

Take it to the pharmacy you got it from or bring it in to the surgery.

Do not put it in your household bin or flush it down the toilet.

> Find a pharmacy

Many pharmacies are open until late and at weekends. You do not need an appointment.

Most pharmacies have a private consultation room where you can discuss issues with pharmacy staff without being overheard.

When you order your medication, you can have your prescription sent electronically to a pharmacy of your choice. This is called a nomination. 

Once you nominate a pharmacy: 

• You will no longer need to collect paper prescriptions from the surgery 
• Your nominated pharmacy will receive your prescriptions until you change or remove your nomination 

You can nominate a pharmacy by calling the surgery, discussing with the pharmacy of choice or online via the online services. 

Your nominated pharmacy may be able to request medication for you on your behalf, please discuss with the pharmacy if you wish to set this up.

Some pharmacies also deliver, there may be a fee. If you wish to have your prescriptions delivered, please discuss with your nominated pharmacy who will arrange this with you.
