You can also:

• bring the paper form to the surgery, Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm

You can usually collect your prescription from the pharmacy 3 to 5 working days after you have ordered it.

You will need to choose a pharmacy to collect your prescription from. We call this nominating a pharmacy.
