REPEAT PRESCRIPTIONS
Repeat Prescriptions Whitechapel E1
NHS repeat prescriptions - Order Your Prescription
You can quickly and conveniently order your repeat prescriptions and arrange for a pharmacy to receive your prescriptions electronically from your GP (see below). You can then order regularly and arrange to collect or have then delivered.
How do I request a repeat prescription?
If your doctor has prescribed you medication that you need to take on a regular basis, then this can be arranged as a repeat prescription.
Order A Repeat Prescription
If you are given a repeat prescription for regular medication, you can arrange a convenient method for ordering a new repeat prescription before your medication runs out.
This can be done in a number of ways. At Shantys Pharmacy, if you are registered with any GP surgery in Tower Hamlets, you can order your repeats through us, and we will track the progress of your order and have your prescription ready within 4 working days of placing your order. From experience, we know that patients who do choose an online chemist or pharmacy, who offer prescription delivery of their online prescription, will often revert to our service, since ours is a personalised service that will inevitably be more reliable and offer additional advice on the medicines dispensed and even on saving money on prescriptions costs through prepayment certificates.
Electronic Prescriptions
For many years, paper prescriptions have been declining to make way for electronic prescriptions, which are paperless. If you are given a paper prescription, for example from an NHS prescription, then by all means come and see us and we will dispense it. In all likelihood, especially if it comes from your GP, your prescription will be electronic and therefore paperless. It will be sent directly to your nominated pharmacy. You control the nomination, so you get to choose which pharmacy it will go to.Â
You can ask a GP to nominate a pharmacy, or for a pharmacy to put a nomination in place on your behalf. Any nomination stands until it is cancelled, and your prescriptions will continue going to that pharmacy unless you decide to change that.
