Wellway Medical, along with all other practices in the area, is required to prescribe medications from the North of Tyne Formulary. This specifies the range of prescribable medicines and is designed to encourage safe, effective and economical prescribing.

We run a computerised system to issue repeat prescriptions which have already been agreed with your doctor. Every few months the doctor may ask you to make an appointment for a prescription review.

Methods for ordering your precriptions are:

On-line Prescription Requests:

Please access our online Repeat Prescription service.
Please note: It may take more than 48 hours to process an on-line request so please allow extra time when ordering on-line medication.

Requests by Telephone:

Requests may be made by telephoning the appropriate surgery number below and leaving a message, or calling weekdays at the surgery after 10.00 am.

Requests in Person (Using your Repeats Slip):

These are on the right hand side of your green prescriptions. By ticking the box of the item that you would like prescribing and leaving it at Morpeth, Pegswood, Lynemouth or Newbiggin surgery, we can arrange for a prescription to be issued and then taken to a chemist of your choice.

When will my Prescription be ready ?

It is necessary to give us 48 hours notice (See table right) for repeat prescriptions so they can be prepared and sent to the chemist for you to collect. For online requests, it may take more than 48 hours to process your request so please allow extra time when ordering on-line medication.

Where can I get my prescription ?

We have pharmacies available to all patients at Morpeth and Pegswood surgeries. We offer home delivery or collection in-store.

Other pharmacies are available in the local area.

Please state which pharmacy you wish to use on your prescription request.
