Prescriptions

Our doctors and nurse practitioner will write prescriptions for you if medication is necessary for your care. Each prescribed item will be charged at the current NHS prescription rate unless you are exempt from prescription charges.

We are permitted to dispense medication to patients living outside of the Pickering and Thornton-le-Dale area.  Our patients living in Pickering and Thornton-le-Dale must have their medication dispensed at a local chemist.

Repeat Prescriptions

To order your medication, please telephone 01751 471296 and press 3 between 2pm and 5pm Monday to Friday. Please allow three working days for us to prepare your repeat prescription.

Patients who live outside of the Pickering and Thornton-le-Dale area can collect their medication from the Dispensary at Pickering Surgery between 9am and 6.30pm Monday to Friday.

For patients living in Pickering and Thornton-le-Dale your prescription will be sent electronically to your chosen Chemist for dispensing.

In response to coronavirus (COVID-19), GPs and pharmacies are moving suitable patients to electronic Repeat Dispensing (eRD). You might be suitable for eRD if you get regular or repeat medicines that don’t change. eRD means your GP can send your regular or repeat prescriptions electronically to a pharmacy and you don’t have to order it monthly. More information about eRD can be found here.

The chemist and the surgery can offer delivery of your medication if you are self-isolating following government advice during the pandemic.

Booking an appointment or requesting repeat prescriptions on-line

via the NHS App

We recommend the NHS app which will allow you to request your medication through your phone. It is free, and has links to NHS choices and a symptom checker. You will also have access to your core medical record.

Parents can sign up for the app on behalf of children (under 14); please contact the surgery on 01751 471296 if you would like to do this.

You do not need to come to the surgery with your ID. You will be asked to send the NHS app team a picture of your ID and a short video of your face to verify your identity.

via Systmonline or the Airmid app

Systmonline is an online service run by our clinical system (SystmOne) provider TPP.  If you have a smartphone or tablet you can also access this through their Airmid App.

We will need to verify your identity, so you will be asked to attend the surgery with a form of photographic ID. We will then provide you with your account details.
