Repeat medicine and emergency prescription help
For routine repeat prescriptions, use the current official Shotfield prescription route or NHS App route shown by the practice. For emergency repeat medicine when the surgery is closed, NHS 111 online may direct you to a pharmacy.
Emergency repeat medicine
If you get medicine by repeat prescription and may run out before the surgery can help, use the NHS 111 emergency prescription route.
Pharmacy advice
Ask your pharmacy about side effects, medicine timing, emergency supply and over-the-counter options for minor illness.
NHS App
The official Shotfield minor illness page explains that NHS App gives secure access to NHS services and can be used by eligible patients aged 13+ registered with a GP surgery in England.
Do not wait
Order regular medicines early before weekends, bank holidays, travel, hospital changes or medication reviews.
| Medicine situation | Best action | Patient tip |
|---|---|---|
| Routine repeat request | Use the practice’s current official prescription route or NHS App if enabled. | Check nominated pharmacy before ordering. |
| Need medicine urgently | Use NHS 111 emergency prescription service or contact a pharmacy. | Do this before your last tablet/inhaler runs out. |
| Medicine suggested by hospital specialist | Shotfield guidance says the practice needs written information from the specialist before prescribing. | Ask the hospital for the first issue where possible. |
| Fear of flying diazepam | Shotfield guidance says doctors have decided not to prescribe diazepam for fear of flying. | Use airline fear-of-flying courses or mental health support instead. |
| Over-the-counter medicines | GP, nurse or pharmacist will generally not prescribe OTC medicines for many minor conditions. | Ask a pharmacist for safe self-care options. |
| Old medicines | Return unused medicines to a pharmacy. | Do not bin or flush medicines. |
