Repeat prescription coming up? Only order what you need!

If you have a repeat prescription coming up, please only order what you really need.

• You can always order more in the future when you need it.
• You’ll help your local community by not receiving extra medicine that could help someone else who needs it straight away.
• You’ll also relieve pressure on your local NHS team as they won’t have to process unnecessary requests.
• You’ll keep yourself and any children or pets safe by not having extra medicine you don’t need at home.
• You’ll help reduce the waste of medicine that expires before you have taken it. Unused medicine needs to be disposed of safely otherwise it can harm the environment.

The easiest way to get your repeat prescriptions is via the NHS app. You can also check test results, view upcoming appointments and much more.  Your NHS is at your fingertips – start using the App today. Available to download via Google play or the App store.
