Introducing the NHS app
Did you know you can now order your repeat prescriptions online via the NHS app?
It is safe and confidential and you will be able to access your repeat medication list at any time.
You can also add a preferred pharmacy to your record so your prescription can be sent to them electronically. (Please contact reception if you would like access to this service or use the NHS app to select your nominated pharmacy).
Please give us 2 working days from the end of the working day to process your request.
The practice is unable to take prescription requests over the phone
The NHS App provides a simple and secure way for patients to book GP appointments, order repeat prescriptions and access a range of other healthcare services.

Once you have your PIN you can register with emis access straight away. If you have already registered for this service click any of the EMIS services we offer above.
Once you are logged in you will be taken to an external website called Patient access online where you will be required to register yourself. After registration is completed you will need to login with your user name and chosen password.
