Repeat NHS Prescription Service
Repeat NHS Prescription Service at Exwick Pharmacy, Exeter
What Is a Repeat Prescription?
If you take regular medicines for a long-term condition, you will likely be on a repeat prescription a pre-authorised prescription that your GP can issue without the need for a full consultation each time. Managing repeat prescriptions can sometimes be time-consuming and confusing, particularly when you take multiple medicines. At Exwick Pharmacy on New Valley Rd, Exeter, we offer a comprehensive repeat prescription service that takes the hassle out of the process for patients across EX4 and the wider Exeter area.
How Exwick Pharmacy Manages Your Repeats
Our repeat prescription service is designed to ensure that your regular medicines are ordered and dispensed in a timely and coordinated way. We can help you keep track of when your prescriptions are due for renewal, liaise with your GP surgery on your behalf where needed, and ensure that your medicines are ready to collect when you need them. For patients on multiple repeat medicines, we can synchronise your prescriptions so that everything is ready at the same time.
Ordering Your Repeat Prescription
Ordering your repeat prescription at Exwick Pharmacy is straightforward. If you are on EPS, your GP can send your prescription electronically directly to us. Alternatively, you can drop in your repeat prescription counterfoil, order online through your GP’s patient portal, or phone your GP surgery to request a repeat. Allow sufficient time typically two to three working days for your prescription to be processed and your medicines to be ready.

Frequently Asked Question
How far in advance should I order my repeat prescription?
We recommend requesting your repeat prescription at least two to three working days before you run out of medicines to allow time for the GP to authorise it and for us to dispense it.
Can Exwick Pharmacy order my repeat prescription from my GP on my behalf?
In some cases, yes. Depending on the arrangement with your GP surgery, we may be able to request your repeat prescription on your behalf. Speak to our team to find out what is possible.
What if my GP has put a review requirement on my repeat prescription?
Some repeat prescriptions require a periodic review with your GP before they can be reissued. We will let you know if this is the case and advise you to contact your GP surgery to arrange an appointment.
Can I nominate Exwick Pharmacy to receive my repeat prescriptions electronically?
Yes. Through the NHS Electronic Prescription Service, your GP can send all of your repeat prescriptions directly to us electronically. Ask our team how to set this up.
What if I need a medicine that is not on my repeat prescription?
If you need a medicine that requires a new or acute prescription, you will need to contact your GP. Our pharmacist can advise on whether the item requires a prescription or whether a suitable over-the-counter alternative is available.
