The easiest ways to order repeat prescriptions are:

• using your NHS account (through the NHS website or in the NHS App)
• using the GP online system via the link at the top of this page

These accounts show you all your repeat medicine and dosage and you can choose the ones you need.

You can also:

• email to syicb-sheffield.sharrowlanemc@nhs.net
• fill out a repeat prescriptions request form
• bring the paper form to the surgery 

Telephone requests are available however we cannot take orders for repeat prescriptions on a Monday morning due to the telephone lines being particularly busy at this time. 

You can usually collect your prescription from the pharmacy 2 working days after you have ordered it.

You will need to choose a pharmacy to collect your prescription from. We call this nominating a pharmacy.

You can change your nominated pharmacy at any time:

• on the app or website where you order repeat prescriptions
• at your GP practice

Deliveries by the pharmacies for the housebound can be provided by arrangement, please contact your local pharmacy.

If you have questions about your medicine, your local pharmacists can answer these. They can also answer questions on medicines you can buy without a prescription.

The NHS website has information on how your medicine works, how and when to take it, possible side effects and answers to your common questions.

• Go to Medicines A to Z (nhs.uk)
