Repeat Prescribing Frequently Asked Questions
How do I order my repeat prescriptions online?
You can manage this efficiently through these digital channels:
- The NHS App: The standard method for patients in London.
- GP Online Services: Your surgery’s specific web portal.
- Pharmacy Apps: Many chemists offer platforms that sync with your GP.
What does ordering a repeat prescription mean?
It is a request for medication that your GP has authorised for long-term use. This allows you to receive subsequent supplies without needing a clinical consultation each time, provided you attend periodic reviews to ensure the treatment remains safe and effective for your condition.
How to get a repeat of a prescription?
You can obtain a refill via several pathways:
- Digital: Use the NHS App or surgery website.
- Paper Slip: Tick the items on your previous prescription’s “white slip” and drop it at the surgery.
- Nominated Pharmacy: Set up a chemist to receive your electronic prescription automatically once authorised.
How often can I order repeat prescriptions?
Frequency depends on the quantity issued, typically every 28 or 56 days. You should order when you have about one week’s supply left. Ordering significantly earlier may be rejected by the GP to prevent stockpiling and ensure the medication is being used as clinically directed.
How does the 28-day rule affect refills?
This NHS policy limits most prescriptions to a 28-day supply to reduce waste and improve safety. For patients, this means you must submit a request every four weeks. This system ensures regular clinical oversight and helps synchronise multiple medications into one manageable monthly cycle.
How many days are between repeat prescriptions?
Usually 28 days. Most London GP surgeries require 48 to 72 hours to process requests, and pharmacies need additional time to dispense. Ordering 7–10 days before your current supply runs out ensures you have a continuous supply while respecting clinical safety intervals.
