How and when to order your prescription
- NHS app or website (our recommendation!)
- Paper forms in the practice.
- By post to: Bloomfield Medical Centre, 118-120 Bloomfield Road, Blackpool FY1 6JW.
We do not take prescriptions requests over the phone.
It takes us up to 2 full working days to get your order processed and ready for you.
For example, if you order on Monday before 1pm, we will have your prescription ready for you on Wednesday after 1pm.
Please make sure you order your prescription on time so you don’t run out. If you need an emergency supply of medication so you don’t run out, please use the the NHS 111 service.
What if I need help ordering my prescription?
We know some patients might struggle to use our ordering methods. This could be due to health conditions or patients being vulnerable.
If you are struggling, then you can ask your nominated pharmacy to order on your behalf. You must inform us of this agreement which we will check with the pharmacy.
Where is my prescription?
For most, your prescription will be sent electronically to you nominated pharmacy. You can manage your nominated pharmacy on the NHS app or website, or you can contact the practice.
With the NHS app, you can also track the status of your repeat prescription request to see if we have sent it to your nominate pharmacy.
If you don’t have a nominated pharmacy, you can use the NHS app to view your prescription (with a barcode) which you can take to any pharmacy in England to get your medication. This means you do not have to collect a token from the practice.
