Repeat prescriptions are the regular medicines that you can order without having to see your doctor each time.
For patients whose long-term medication is on a repeat prescription basis, we offer a number of ways to re-order.
- In person: drop your repeat slip in at reception with the required items clearly marked.
- By post: send it to us with a stamped addressed envelope if you want us to post it back to you.
- Online: start a simple registration to use SystmOnline.
- Email: email your request to stccg.wmcprescriptions@nhs.net Please ensure you include your name, date of birth and the medications required on your email.
- Pharmacy: Pharmacies are no longer able to order medications on your behalf. Please see Changes to Repeat Ordering Services below for more information.
Please allow two full working days for prescriptions to be processed and remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account.

Changes to Repeat Ordering Systems
From 2nd September 2019 the pharmacy will no longer be able to order repeat prescriptions on behalf of patients. Patients who have a clinical need or are housebound and unable to do this may continue to use this service if it has been agreed by the practice direct. If you have any issues that you think you will not be able to order your repeat prescription please contact the surgery direct to discuss this further.
Please be aware this is a CCG decision and not made by the practice and will be carried out in all local GP surgeries. See above for alternative ways to order your prescription.
