If the doctor has agreed that you need medication on a long-term basis, you can ask for a repeat prescription.

Prescriptions can be requested in the following ways:

• Drop your repeat slip or written request into the practice prescription box
• Submit a request at the reception desk
• Order via the NHS app or other third party apps
• Services such as Pharmacy2U
• Email to nnicb-nn.windmill@nhs.net - ensuring you include your full name, date of birth and which items you are requesting

If you have been issued with a repeat prescription, you will find the drugs authorised for repeat listed on the tear off slip attached to the prescription.

You can order online via the NHS app which can be downloaded via the app store or play store depending on your phone

• Keep the medications in a secure, locked place out of reach of small children.
• Always read the instructions and use the suggested dose.
• Watch expiry dates – do not keep or use medicines past their sell-by date.
• Take all unwanted and out-of-date medicines back to the pharmacy.

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner/practice nurse or the practice pharmacist at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip.

Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.
