Repeat prescriptions in Derry

Keep your regular prescriptions with a local team you can speak to.

Ask H Sweeny Chemist to dispense your Health Service repeat prescriptions. We will check your GP surgery and explain exactly how ordering and collection work before anything changes.

A clear process

Your GP surgery's ordering route still matters.

Most repeat prescriptions must still be requested through the method set by your GP surgery—such as its patient portal, app, email or telephone system. H Sweeny Chemist cannot assume that every practice uses the same process.

Tell us which surgery you use. Our team will confirm the route, whether physical collection is available and when to contact us about your supply.

01

Use your regular pharmacy

Common questions

Helpful information before you book.

Can H Sweeny Chemist order my repeat prescription for me?

Ordering rules vary by GP surgery. In many cases you must continue to request your prescription directly from the surgery. We will check your practice and explain the correct route.

Can you collect my prescription from my GP surgery?

We physically collect from participating GP surgeries. Complete the enquiry form or call us and we will confirm whether your surgery is included.

Does sending the form transfer my prescriptions immediately?

No. It is an enquiry only. Keep using your current arrangements until our pharmacy team has contacted you and confirmed the next step.

Is H Sweeny Chemist part of the NHS?

No. We are an independent community pharmacy that dispenses Health Service prescriptions within Northern Ireland HSC arrangements.

Where can I collect my medicine?

From H Sweeny Chemist, Unit 17, Quayside Shopping Centre, Strand Road, Derry/Londonderry, BT48 7PX, once the team confirms it is ready.
