Community Pharmacy Repeat Ordering Service:

PATIENT LED PRESCRIBING

Patients must order their own medication

The Objective of this is;

To Empower patiens to take control of ordering their medication

To ensure patient led ordering within the GP Practice is safe and efficient

To reduce stockpiling of medicaiton on patients home as it's a safety risk

To reduce waste and help climate change

To reduce Practice time spent chasing and processing prescriptions, and answering the phone to queries about the prescription journey

To increase uptake of the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS)

To increase uptake of on-line ordering - encouraging use of the NHS App and GP Clinical System

Some patients may be exempt from the changes. If you require pharmacy managed repeat prescriptions, you can still order through the pharmacy. Please ask at reception if you are unsure if you require pharmacy managed repeat prescriptions.

We have a duty to obtain good quality, safe and cost-effective services for the people of Warrington. Unused prescription medicines cost the NHS across the UK over £300 million every year.

You can help reduce this cost by taking responsibility for managing your own medicines effectively through:

Having a regular medicine review with your GP practice Clinical Pharmacist
Not ordering a medicine just because it’s on your repeat prescription. If you don’t need the medicine, please don’t order it. If you need the medicine again in the future you can still request it

For more information, please speak to a member of the reception team.
