Patient Led Ordering of Medicines

A person holding a smart phone showing the NHS App. Text reads "order repeat prescriptions via the NHS App".

The way repeat prescriptions are ordered is changing.

For most patients, this means that instead of their local pharmacy ordering their prescriptions for them, they will need to request medication directly from their GP practice.

The NHS App is the safest and easiest way for patients to request their repeat prescription – giving them more control over their healthcare and taking away the hassle of unnecessary trips to the GP practice.
