Prescriptions
Ordering repeat prescriptions
We are keen to avoid paper based repeat prescription ordering to reduce infection risk:
- Ideally order through the NHS Wales App, which allows you to see your current repeat list.
- The NHS Wales App is going to replace My Health Online. If you already have a My Health Online account, you can still it to order your prescriptions for the time being.
- Or order through your nominated pharmacy.
- You can also use eConsult to send queries related to prescriptions.
- Please nominate a pharmacy, so we can send your prescription direct to them (you can do this via surgery reception or ask your pharmacy to let us know).
Allow at least 2 working days for your prescription to be processed. If it is after 3pm, allow 3 working days.
If you want a prescription for anything not on the repeat order form, then you must discuss this with the doctor. Any requests for medication not on the repeat order form will not be processed.
Questions about your prescription
If you have questions about your medicine, your local pharmacists can answer these. They can also answer questions on medicines you can buy without a prescription.
What to do with old medicines
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.
Medication reviews
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.
