Repeat supplies of tablets or medicines can be obtained without having to see the clinician each time, but the clinician must have agreed to this in advance.
Ordering Repeat Prescriptions in the NHS App
Did you know you can manage repeat prescriptions from Bankfield Surgery in the NHS App?
You can easily choose where your prescriptions are sent. So, if you know you'll be away from home or you are moving home, you can change your nominated pharmacy from within the app.
You can also order your prescription at any time that suits you. There’s no need to wait until the GP surgery opens.
It’s easy to use, and, if you hit a snag, you can go to ‘Help’ in the top right-hand corner of the app or visit nhs.uk/helpmeapp.

Please allow three to five full working days for prescriptions to be processed, please remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account when ordering. Please ensure you have a nominated pharmacy where you would like your prescription to be sent to and we will electronically forward this on for you.
If you do not have access to the internet and are unable to order your prescriptions online then please order using the computer list provided with each prescription ticking the required items. The paper requests may be placed in the post box on the right in the entrance lobby just before you come into the reception area or be sent by post. This is a lengthly process so will cause additonal delays to your prescription request.
You can collect your prescription from the pharmacy but you are not able to order your prescription directly with the pharmacy. We do not accept prescription requests over the telephone. Bankfield surgery apologises for any inconvenience and expresses the importance of phones lines being freed up for urgent medical attention.
