Medication Ordering

Medication Ordering

Ordering repeat medication through the NHS App is generally preferable to sending a free-text request via an online consultation form. It is safer as it reduces the risk of wrong drug names or wrong strengths being inputted. Also, it is more efficient for the practice staff, and the prescriptions may be processed faster. If you would like guidance on how to send prescription requests via the NHS App, please visit nhs.uk/nhs-app/help/prescription.
