You can order prescriptions in a number of ways.
Some local pharmacies provide a home delivery service - please check with them directly.

The Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) is an NHS service. It gives you the chance to change how your GP sends your prescription to the place you choose to get your medicines or appliances from.
What does this mean for you?
You will have more choice about where to get your medicines from because they can be collected from a pharmacy near to where you live, work or shop.
If you have questions about your medicine, your local pharmacists can answer these. They can also answer questions on medicines you can buy without a prescription.
The NHS website has information on how your medicine works, how and when to take it, possible side effects and answers to your common questions.

If you are on a repeat prescription, you may be asked to attend regular reviews to ensure your medication remains safe and effective for your needs. These reviews help us monitor your condition and make any necessary adjustments. We will contact you when it is time to arrange an appointment.
Prescription charges are for each item not each prescription. For example, if your prescription has 3 medicines on it you will have to pay the prescription charge 3 times.
