If the GP (doctor) thinks you require a repeat prescription at regular intervals, you will be issued with a prescription often electronically and your pharmacist should give you a repeat order slip. You can order the repeat script by requesting by email or contact a receptionist or leaving it at the reception. A new script will be ready and sent to your chemist electronically (EPS) or for collection (if non-EPS) typically within two working days. If you wish for the script to be returned by post please provide a self-addressed envelope.

It permits ease of request and collection of your repeat prescription all in one visit without delay saving you valuable time. this makes it more convenient for the patient whilst also meaning there is no paper prescription to lose. The Doctor will send your prescription instantly electronically to your EPS enabled pharmacist.
