Prescription Requests

We have up to 3 working days to action your prescription request. This includes requests made in writing or online through the NHS App or our website.

Hospital or Specialist Recommendations

When a hospital or specialist recommends a new medication or treatment, please allow up to 14 days for this to be processed and reviewed safely by our clinical team.

Why the wait?

Every prescription is carefully checked by our clinicians to ensure your treatment is safe, accurate, and appropriate.

How You Can Help

Order your medication a week before you are due to run out.
Any queries regarding a prescription, please call our dedicated prescription line between 10am and 3pm Monday to Friday.
