Order Your Repeat Prescription Online & Save Time

Repeat prescription online

Do you know approximately 80% of the prescriptions that are issued by GPs are for treating long-term health condition? Those prescriptions are referred as “repeat prescriptions”.

There is an effective system initiated by the NHS to help people fulfil their prescription needs in the most convenient way, which is called the Electronic Prescription Service or EPS in short. EPS is to ensure that patients are getting the correct prescription medicines in the right quantity.

PharmacyOutlet offers the NHS Repeat Prescription Online service to people who get repeat prescriptions on a regular basis from their GP practice.

How can I order repeat prescription online?
First and foremost, you must have a repeat prescription issued by your GP practice in order to use the EPS. If you have it, you must nominate PharmacyOutlet, by completing the registration form on the website.

PharmacyOutlet offers a prescription collection service – this means your repeat prescriptions are collected from your GP surgery through the internet, saving you time. Remember, you need order repeat prescription online a week before you need a new supply.

The PharmacyOutlet pharmacist will contact your GP practice and collect your prescription electronically. Once this is done, your medicines are dispensed and delivered to the address you choose. Please note that the delivery is free, but you have to pay for the medicines ordered.

Please allow the GP practice a minimum of two working days to process your repeat prescriptions. Hence, it is always advised to re-order your prescriptions a week before running out of old supply.
