Simply, let us know what repeat medicines you need, a few days before they run out, either in person, by phone, fax or email and we will arrange to collect it from your Doctor’s surgery. When we have collected your prescription it will be dispensed and waiting for you to collect from our pharmacy. You may come to our pharmacy for more details and speak to a member of staff or call us on 020 7624 8000.We can dispense NHS repeat dispensing prescriptions issued by your doctor.

Electronic Transmission of Prescriptions (ETP)

The way the NHS provides prescriptions to patients will be changing soon. In the near future, patients will have their prescription created and sent electronically directly from their GP to their ‘nominated’ pharmacy where they wish to receive their medication or appliance from.

There will be a transition period where both paper and electronic versions will be created simultaneously so that the systems that handle the ETP versions have time to settle in and become the single standard means of issue.

We are asking our regular customers to sign a Nomination Form that will allow us to obtain your electronic prescription from your surgery when the NHS Electronic Prescription Service comes into effect.

You will normally be asked to nominate just one pharmacy for your prescriptions to be sent to and dispensed rather than a variety of pharmacies.
