Important changes to repeat prescription ordering

Posted by: Monifa - Posted on:

NHS North Kirklees Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is changing the way repeat medication can be ordered to increase safety and efficiency.  Patients or their carers will now need to order their repeat prescription directly through the surgery. This can be done in a number of ways including:

  • Ordering via the online system. You can register for this service by contacting reception
  • Dropping your repeat request at the surgery in person
  • Posting your request to the surgery

Please only order the medication you need 7-10 days before you are due to run out. You should allow 2 full working days for your prescription to be processed.

Pharmacies that collect prescriptions from your GP and deliver medication to patients will still do so.  It is only the ordering process that is affected by this change.

If you feel you may need support ordering your repeat prescription please get in touch with the practice or contact:
