In the event that you require a repeat prescription medication in an emergency, outside your GP surgery hours, our pharmacist will assess your condition to determine whether there is an immediate need for the medication and whether you have previously been prescribed the medication by your GP.
For your protection, our pharmacist will only make an emergency supply in line with the Medicines and Ethics guidance and in some instances may decline a request for an emergency supply where it is not deemed necessary. In cases of uncertainty the pharmacist may direct you to your nearest hospital or Walk In Centre for assistance.
If you require medical assistance or advice outside our pharmacy hours you should contact your local police station or hospital.
You may also contact NHS UK on 111 or head to 111 online right now.
NHS Repeat Prescriptions
Run out of your NHS repeat medication?
If you’ve run out of your medicine and don’t have a new prescription yet, you can use NHS 111 online for help: 111 Emergency Prescriptions. If you get medicine from a pharmacy without a prescription or NHS 111, you’ll have to pay the full cost and a service fee.
To avoid running out, order your repeat prescriptions 3–5 working days before you need them.
If you’re not sure what to do, ask the pharmacy team for help.
