Prescriptions
Repeat prescriptions
You can request a repeat prescription in three ways:
- Speaking to the reception team in person
- Emailing nnicb-nn.contact-gfmc@nhs.net
- Using the NHS App
- Using SystmOnline (speak to reception to request your login details)
We cannot accept requests over the phone.
Not all medications can be given as repeat prescriptions. For medications that are not on repeat, please book a routine appointment.
Please allow three full working days for prescriptions to be processed.
Picking up prescriptions
You can pick up your prescription from the practice or a pharmacy you choose. To find a pharmacy near you, visit: Find a pharmacy - NHS.
To change where you pick up your prescription, speak to reception or use the NHS App.
Medication reviews
Medication reviews help us make sure your treatment is right for you.
Book an appointment with our reception team when your medication is due for review. You can check the review date at the bottom of your repeat prescription if you're unsure.

If you often pay for your prescriptions, it may be cheaper to get a prescription prepayment certificate (PPC). Learn more here:
