Repeat Prescriptions
Please allow a minimum of two workings days for your repeat prescription requests to be issued.
You must request your medication in writing. You can do this by
- Dropping off the request to one of our Surgeries. External post boxes available 24/7
- Use your online access account to request it online (Patient Access or NHS App)
- Send it by post to GP Direct, 3-7 Welbeck Road, Harrow, HA2 0RQ
You can nominate a pharmacy to collect your prescriptions on your behalf; for more information ask at reception or speak to your preferred pharmacy. To nominate a pharmacy please complete our online form.
If you would like your prescription to be posted to you, please ensure you enclose a self addressed envelope with a stamp.
As of 1st December 2017 North West London GP surgeries no longer accept prescription requests from pharmacies and you will need to order them directly with the surgery. You can request a prescription online, at the surgery or by post.
The NHS accepts responsibility for supplying ongoing medication for temporary periods abroad of up to three months. If a person is going to be abroad for more than three months then only a sufficient supply of his/her regular medication should be provided to enable them to get to the destination and find an alternative supply. NHS prescriptions must never be obtained by relatives or friends on behalf of patients who are currently abroad, irrespective of such factors as owning a house in the UK or paying UK taxes. Patients are responsible for ensuring that any drugs they take into a country conform to local laws
