To order a repeat prescription
- Use your NHS account (on the NHS website or in the NHS app).
- Email the surgery (sxicb-esx.albertroad-sidleysurgery@nhs.net)
- Use the repeat ordering slip on your previous prescription. Leave it at the surgery or post it to us.
- Use your Patient Access account (on the Patient Access website or in the Patient Access app).
- Complete an online form.
Your prescription will be ready 2 full working days after your order has been received. Working days are Mon to Fri and do not include public holidays. Only order a repeat prescription if you have less than 7 days of medication remaining.
You can use an online form to give us your mobile number.

Electronic prescriptions service (EPS)
If you get regular prescriptions or are already using a prescription collection service (where a pharmacy collects prescriptions from your GP practice for you) then choosing a pharmacy to dispense all your prescriptions may save you time by avoiding unnecessary trips to your GP.
You will still order your repeat prescriptions in the same way as you do now, but your prescriptions will be sent electronically to the pharmacy or dispenser of your choice.
The majority of prescriptions are now sent electronically directly to your nominated pharmacy. You will not have to collect a paper repeat prescription from your GP practice.

We have a duty to review your health and medicines regularly. We will let you know if you need to make an appointment for a medication review with either our practice nurses or your doctor.
If you need urgent advice about your medication outside our surgery hours, please call NHS 111.
