Repeat Dispensing
NHS Repeat Dispensing at Wellbeing Pharmacy
Managing regular prescriptions doesn’t need to be complicated. At Wellbeing Pharmacy, our NHS Repeat Dispensing service makes it easier and more convenient for patients who take regular medicines to receive their treatment without needing to visit the GP every time.
What is Repeat Dispensing?
Repeat dispensing allows your GP to authorise a batch of prescriptions for up to 12 months, which are then managed by your nominated pharmacy. Instead of requesting a new prescription each time, you can collect your medicines directly from us at regular intervals.
Benefits of Repeat Dispensing Prescriptions
-
Convenient – fewer visits to the GP for repeat prescription requests
-
Reliable – your medicines are ready when you need them
-
Flexible – collect your prescription at the agreed interval that suits your treatment
-
Safe – our pharmacists check your medicines each time to ensure they remain suitable for you
Electronic Repeat Dispensing Prescriptions (eRD)
Repeat dispensing can now be managed through the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS). Your prescriber can send your repeat prescriptions electronically to your nominated pharmacy, and we will dispense them in regular intervals — just like with a paper prescription.
Advantages of eRD and EPS include:
-
No more paper prescriptions to manage
-
Medicines are sent securely and directly to your chosen pharmacy
-
Easy collection or free home delivery (subject to distance)
-
Perfect for patients on stable, long-term medication
