The way you order your repeat prescriptions is changing. Starting June 2nd, patients must order repeat prescriptions directly from their GP under Patient Led ordering. Pharmacies will no longer manage prescriptions on their behalf. To order medication, sign up for the NHS app via our website , or drop a repeat request into the prescription box .
This initiative spans across Greater Manchester, aiming to:
- Reduce medicine waste by addressing the current prescription system, which often leads to unnecessary orders.
- Empower patients with greater control over their medication management.
- Enhance safety by preventing stockpiling and ensuring discontinued medications are not mistakenly reordered.
