Prescriptions
Ordering repeat prescriptions
Please request your medications 7 days before you need to collect them
To order your medication:
- Via the NHS app: there is more information on how to do this here. You can request your medications even when the surgery is closed, but please request your medications 7 days before you need to collect them.
- By Phone: call the prescriptions line on 0191 295 8514 (weekdays between 0900 and 1700 hours). It is important to only say the names of the medication you need and not just ask for a repeat of all your prescriptions. Please request your medications 7 days before you need to collect them
Queries about your medication
The Village Green Surgery has a Pharmacy Team who run clinics at the surgery. The pharmacist can offer help with your medications, and we can offer advice on the Pharmacy First system, which means patients can use their local pharmacy as the first point of call for minor ailments.
Please call reception on 0191 295 8500 to book an appointment
Pharmacy services
Some chemists/pharmacists provide a collection and delivery service for people who cannot get out of their house. Speak to your local pharmacist for more details.
