Electronic Repeat dispensing (eRD) also known as batch prescriptions:

If you use the same medicines regularly, you may be able to benefit from electronic Repeat Dispensing (eRD). Your repeat prescriptions will be sent to your nominated pharmacy in one go. This means you won’t have to re-order or collect repeat prescriptions from your GP practice every time you need more medicine.

Talk to your GP or the person who prescribes your medicines to ask if you can use electronic Repeat Dispensing.

GP practice online ordering services:

If you have access to the internet, you could manage your prescriptions online with your GP practice. This option can be discussed with a member of the GP practice reception team, who will be able to assist.

The Medicine Order Line (MOL):

For GP practices that have access to the MOL, it is a convenient way to order your prescriptions. This is via a dedicated telephone line where you will speak to an experienced health professional.

For GP practices in North Derbyshire that are on board with the MOL please phone 01246 588860.

For GP practices in South Derbyshire that are on board with the MOL please phone 0115 855 0260.

More information and a list of GP practices currently on board with the MOL can be found at www.derbyandderbyshireccg.nhs.uk.

Alternative arrangements:

If your GP practice agrees that ordering a repeat prescription via the above options is not suitable they may be able to make alternative arrangements for prescriptions to be ordered with them directly. Some GP practices may be able to receive paper medication requests or medication requests over the telephone.
