Ordering repeat prescriptions

The easiest ways to order repeat prescriptions are:

• using your NHS account (through the NHS website or in the NHS App)
• using the GP online system PATCHS

You can also:

• • fill out a repeat prescriptions request form
  • bring the paper form to the surgery, Monday to Friday from 8:30am to 6.30pm
• We do not take prescription requests over the phone.

Help us reduce medicines waste – only order what you need

Did you know that a large amount of medicines are wasted each year in Cheshire and Merseyside? We need your help to tackle this. By only ordering what you need, you can help yourself, your community, and the environment.

• Stay Well & Safe: Ordering only what you need helps prevent stockpiling. Unused medicines can expire and may not work as intended, and keeping a stockpile at home increases risks for you, your children, and pets. Remember, medicines are prescribed for you and should never be shared.

• Stay Green: Medicines account for around 25% of the NHS carbon footprint in England. Once a medicine leaves the pharmacy, it cannot be used by anyone else. By reducing waste, you are helping to prevent pollution in our rivers, seas, and soil.

• Stay Organised: Before ordering your repeat prescription, please check what you already have at home. Only request the items you need this time. If you are going into hospital, take your current medicines with you to help staff provide seamless care and avoid unnecessary duplicate prescriptions.

Nominated Pharmacy

We ask all patients to nominate a pharmacy. This means you no longer have to collect paper prescriptions from the practice, and instead can go straight to your nominated pharmacy to pick up your medicines.  You can let us know your nominated pharmacy in person/online/by telephone or email cmicb-wi.moretonmc@nhs.net
