Other ways to order

You can request your repeat prescription by:

  • Order online via Patient Access 
  • Order online via The NHS App
  • Do not add messages to these PX requests using online apps - please contact the team via email on fax.nmp@nhs.net or call them on 01227 208556 if you need to make amendments to your normal prescription request
  • Use our online form
 

Patients on regular medication will require repeat prescriptions and, for a safer and speedier service, repeat prescriptions are now computerised. Your Doctor will have entered onto the computer what medication you are taking and, each time a new prescription is written by the computer, a new request form is also generated for you to make your next request.

Requests for repeat prescriptions are not taken over the telephone, as errors can occur in verbal communication.

Once you sent your online request, If you do not receive a system generated confirmation email after 1 hour then please resend your request.  The confirmation email ensures you that we have received your request.  You will not receive this email if you dont supply an email address although your request will get to us.

  • Repeat prescriptions will be ready for collection from the Practice 72 hours after we have received them.  However, if you have arranged a Pharmacy Pick Up, their service time schedule may be longer, please check with your Pharmacy. They can also be processed at our Blean and Chartham Branch Surgeries. Any requests sent via this online service after 3pm will not be dealt with until next working day.
  • If you have more than one repeat prescription, please try and order all your items together.
  • If you are receiving any medication that is not on your request form, please add this clearly on the request slip and this will be added after checking this with the Doctor.
  • Either deliver or post your repeat prescription form to the Northgate Medical Practice, Blean Branch Surgery or Chartham Surgery where it can also be processed, if you intend to collect it from there.
  • We can send the prescription to your home address, but remember to enclose a stamped, addressed envelope. You can, if you choose, collect your repeat prescription from the surgery.
 

Dispensing 

The Practice has facilities for the dispensing of prescriptions to residents of Blean and Rough Common at the Blean Surgery and Chartham at our Chartham Surgery.
