Prescriptions

The easiest ways to order repeat prescriptions are:

1. Using the NHS APP (Recommended)

Order instantly online. The app displays your current repeat medications and dosages so you can easily select what you need.

2. By Phone

Call our dedicated Prescription Line on 0161 271 3130 (Option 2).

• Available: Monday to Friday, 10:30am – 1:30pm.

Prescription Processing Time: 2 working days.

Please ensure you have nominated a pharmacy for your collection. If you need to change your chosen pharmacy, you can do so instantly via the NHS App/website, by letting our reception team know, or by asking your local pharmacist.

The Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) is an NHS service. It lets you decide how your GP sends your prescription to the place where you want to get your medicines or appliances.

What does this mean for you?

You’ll have more options for where to get your medicines. You can collect them from a pharmacy close to your home, work, or shopping area.

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.

If you have questions about your medicine, ask your local pharmacist. They can also help with questions about over-the-counter medicines.

The NHS website offers details on how your medicine works, when and how to take it, possible side effects, and answers to common questions.
