Prescriptions

Ordering repeat medication

You can order your repeat medication by:

• using the NHS App
• dropping your repeat prescription slip in the box at reception
• sending it to us in the post

We’ll send your prescription to any pharmacy you choose. Our reception team can help you change your pharmacy, or you can do it through the NHS App.

Ordering acute medication

Some medicines are for one use and given by your doctor. These are acute prescriptions. You can’t order them like your usual medicine. Contact the surgery if you think you need more.

If you have a query about your medication

Pharmacists can answer your medication questions. You can also call us on 0151 650 1098 and we’ll arrange for you to talk to someone.

Medication reviews

People on regular medicine need medication reviews. Your repeat prescription slip will remind you when it’s time. Please ensure you have your check-up to avoid delays in getting more medicine.

Over-the-counter medications

Our doctors usually won’t give you medicine you can buy yourself. This is government policy. You can find a list of these medicines by clicking here.
