Important Change to Prescription Requests

 

From 1 May 2026, we will no longer accept prescription requests by email. Emails requesting prescriptions will not be processed

How to request your medication

Please use one of the following options:

  • The NHS App: The quickest and easiest way to order repeat prescriptions
  • Your pharmacy: (If they submit prescription requests electronically)

Exception

  • Patients who receive dosette (blister pack) prescriptions may continue to have requests sent by email.

Why is this changing?

This helps us to:

  • Process prescriptions safely and securely
  • Reduce delays and errors
  • Improve services for all patients

Need help using the NHS App?

Our staff can help you get started, or visit the NHS App webpage
