We advise that patients who wish to request repeat medication, should do at least a week in advance, to avoid running out. If you have an urgent request for medicines, please ensure that your request is marked urgent to ensure prompt processing. If you are ordering your medication early, please include an explanation.
Did you know that the surgery now offers a number of ways to save you time ordering and collecting your prescriptions?
These could be for you, or someone you care for, if prescribed stable medication.
NHS eRepeats – If you, or someone you care for, use the same medicines regularly, you may be able to use eRepeats via your nominated pharmacy. We can authorise your pharmacy to dispense your stable repeat items, so that you won’t have to visit the surgery or request a new prescription every time you need more medicine. Every 12 months, your pharmacy will remind you to contact the surgery to make an appointment for a medication review and a new eRepeat to be issued.
If you would like further information about eRepeats, please contact your local pharmacy or our prescribing team on 01726 75555.
Online – You can order repeat prescriptions and view a list of any medications that you are taking online via SystmOnline or the NHS App. No more having to remember the names of the medication or how many you need to order and when! Please email reception.sahc@nhs.net in order to set up a SystmOne online account. Please include your full name, date of birth and a copy of your ID. Alternatively, you can download and register with the NHS App at home.

When ordering a repeat medication, if the doctor indicates that a review is required you will be given one final prescription to allow time to make an appointment for a medication review.
Although we aim to have your repeat prescription request processed within three workings days, some prescriptions may take longer. This could be if it is not currently on your repeat prescriptions list or if it needs to be reauthorised by a Doctor.
