Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner/practice nurse or the practice pharmacist at least once a year to review their regular medications and a notification should appear on your repeat slip.

Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.

If the doctor has agreed that you need medication on a long-term basis, you can ask for a repeat prescription.

Prescriptions can be requested in the following ways:

• Drop your repeat slip or written request into the practice prescription box
• Submit a request at the reception desk
• Order via the NHS app or other third party apps
• Services such as Pharmacy2U
• Email to nnicb-nn.windmill@nhs.net - ensuring you include your full name, date of birth and which items you are requesting

Please note we have been asked to remove the link for systmonline, but you can still use this if you have access. We are only permitted to show the NHS app.

If you have been issued with a repeat prescription, you will find the drugs authorised for repeat listed on the tear off slip attached to the prescription.
