Collect a prescription
Once you have your prescription, you will need to take it to a pharmacy to get your medication.
What you need to do to get a repeat prescription
-
Step 1
If you like, you can register to book appointments online with the UWE Bristol Health Centre and the Old School Surgery.
When you are registered, you will be able to use klinik, an online service allowing you to contact the surgery with your medical query, including repeat prescriptions.
-
Step 2
If you require a repeat prescription, you will need to be assessed by one of our practitioners before your first repeat prescription can be made. You will need to book an appointment with us in order to do this.
-
Step 3
Email your request direct to the Old School pharmacy at oldschoolpharmacy@nhs.net or prescriptions.oldschool@nhs.net. Remember that if you email your request your medication will be ready to collect from the Old School pharmacy or your nominated pharmacy after 72 hours.
-
Step 4
Once you have your prescription, you will need to take it to a pharmacy of your choice to get your medication. Nearby pharmacies include:
Repeat prescriptions over vacation
Repeat prescriptions over vacation
You can change your nominated pharmacy to your hometown if you've gone home for the vacation as long as you live in England. Just visit your new nominated pharmacy.
You can make prescription requests online through our klinik system. We aim to process your request within 72 hours.
You will still be registered with the UWE Bristol Health Centre if you change your nominated pharmacy.
Get you prescription sent electronically
Instead of visiting your GP with a paper repeat prescription, you can get your prescription sent electronically to a nominated pharmacy or dispenser. You will then be able to pick up your prescription from your chosen pharmacy.
The NHS Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) website has guidance for finding a pharmacy in your area that offers the electronic prescription service. If you wish to nominate a pharmacy, you can make arrangements to do so by visiting that pharmacy in person.

The pharmacy is based at The Old School Pharmacy and offers the following services:
- treatment for minor ailments
- needle and syringe exchange
- smoking cessation support
- travel health advice
- morning-after pill.
Staff at the pharmacy are happy to advise on a wide range of minor medical problems.
