Repeat Prescriptions

 Repeat prescriptions can be requested in 3 ways:

  • Ordering online

  • Email your prescription request cmicb-war.springfieldspx@nhs.net

  • Written request

Unfortunately we can’t accept prescription requests over the phone.

How to order online

To order prescriptions online you can use:

  • the NHS App 
  • the Airmid App 
  • SystemOne Online

The Apps can be downloaded from the Apple or Google Play Stores.

If your repeat prescription options disappear online please put the medications you need in a custom request in the free text box.

How to order via email

Please send an email with a list of the medications you need to cmicb-war.springfieldspx@nhs.net

Please include your name, date of birth and NHS number in the request .

How to order via a written request.

Please use right hand side of your last prescription.

Please tick the items that you need.

This can be dropped into reception or our post box that at the entrance to Bath Street.

When should I order my repeat prescription

We advise that you order medications 7 working days before you’re due to run out.

Please order Controlled Drugs 3 working days before you're due to run out Please see the Controlled Drug Prescription page for more information.

How long will a repeat prescription take for the practice to process

The majority of prescriptions are done within a day of requesting.

Please check with the pharmacy to see if they have received your medication before calling us.

Please allow up to 3 working days before calling to chase a repeat prescription. This is because some medications have queries on them that need to be resolved before we can issue.

If your medication request is urgent please call reception.

Specialist Medication Requests

Please allow up to 5 working days from receipt of a clinical letter for a medication to be issued that a specialist has requested from a clinic appointment.

If the medication is required sooner than this the hospital should issue a supply whilst you are waiting.

Medication reviews

Repeat prescription reviews are essential for safe prescribing

They may include:

  • A discussion with a Pharmacist, Doctor
  • A blood test

Medication reviews are usually set at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months or 12 months.

The time between reviews depends on the type of medication and how long you have been on it.

To ensure we prescribe safely if you do not attend for reviews we will consider:

  • Reducing how much medication we can issue
  • Stopping medications
