The NHS Wales App will replace My Health Online by the end of December 2023 and you will no longer be able to order your medication through MHOL from 1 January 2024. Therefore please download the App today and register.
Patients can choose how they would like to order their repeat prescriptions:
- By handing in the right hand side of your prescription ticked with what you want in via our post box.
- By sending your request online via the Klinik link on the home page
- Via the NHS App
- By post, enclosing a SAE if you would like us to post it back to you
- If you would like your prescription to be collected by the local chemist please complete a form at the chemist of your choice.
Please note that it will take up to 5 working days to process your prescription request.
If you would like to read our repeat prescription policy, please ask a receptionist.
At any one time, only one month’s supply for most medicines will be issued. If you are going abroad for longer than 4 weeks, please ask one of the receptionists for advice. Please ensure that you order only the items you need on your repeat. This will help to avoid wastage.

Repeat Dispensing Service
We also offer non dispensing patients who are taking certain long term medication a repeat dispensing service, whereby your repeat medication will be authorised for periods of six to twelve months. Your prescriptions will be held by your choice of pharmacy, where you can collect your medication without having to return to the surgery every month to submit your repeat request. Please discuss this with a GP or pharmacist if you are interested in this service.
Medication Reviews
All patients on repeat medication should have their medicines and the need for them reviewed from time to time (at least annually). Patients with long term illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease and asthma will be called to nurse led clinics. Others will see a doctor or practice pharmacist. If you are not sure how or when your medicines should be reviewed please ask a member of our prescribing team.
Warfarin monitoring and dosing is offered in regular clinics at the practice. Please book into the Warfarin Monitoring (INR) Clinic as required.
Please allow five full working days for prescriptions to be processed and remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account.
