Community Pharmacy Repeat Ordering Service:

PATIENT LED PRESCRIBING

Patients must order their own medication

The aim of this is;

To Empower patients to take control of ordering their medication
To ensure patient led ordering within the GP Practice is safe and efficient
To reduce stockpiling of medication 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. Or answering queries about prescriptions
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 need pharmacy managed repeat prescriptions, you can still order through the pharmacy. Ask at reception if you are unsure if you need pharmacy managed repeat prescriptions.

We have a duty to get 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.
