| Pharmacy First | Some minor illnesses, including listed conditions such as sore throat, sinusitis, shingles, impetigo and some UTIs. | Symptoms, age, pregnancy status if relevant, allergies and current medicines. | Use GP/111/999 routes if symptoms are severe, worsening or concerning. |

Repeat prescriptions, medicines and online access
The official Granta prescription page says the easiest way to request repeat medication is online. The contact page says repeat prescriptions should be ordered using the NHS App or SystmOnline.

Use the NHS App for repeat prescriptions where your medication is visible. It can also help with records and some NHS services.
SystmOnline
Granta lists SystmOnline as an online route for ordering prescriptions and managing healthcare needs from a laptop or PC.
Written request
The prescription page says you may request prescriptions in writing at the surgery if needed.
Prescription timing: Granta asks patients to allow two clear working days between requesting and collecting repeat prescriptions, and to indicate the collection point in medication request notes. Online weekend requests are processed on Monday and listed as ready for collection on Thursday.
This video is general NHS App repeat prescription guidance, not a Sawston-specific rule. Always follow Granta Medical Practices’ official prescription page for local ordering instructions.
Test results, fit notes and online records
Test results
The Granta online-access page says online access can help patients view test results and access medical notes. Use NHS App or SystmOnline where enabled.
Fit note / sick note

Online access setup
The online-access page says patients can use NHS App on phone/tablet or SystmOnline on laptop/PC, and login details help keep records secure.
Privacy reminder: online health records are personal. Do not share your login details unless you have chosen to share access with a trusted family member or carer.
