Ordering repeat prescriptions
A repeat prescription is medication agreed with your clinician. You can request these without having to speak with the clinician until you are due a review.
The easiest ways to order repeat prescriptions are:
- fill out a repeat prescriptions request form
- using the GP online system: My Health Online (Fy Iechyd Ar-lein)
- using the NHS Wales App (Coming late 2024)
- in person, tick the box that has your repeat prescription item and return to slip to the surgery
