Repeat prescriptions, medicines and pharmacy help
The official repeat prescription page says Westbury Road Medical Practice has a 48-hour policy, which means two full working days for repeat prescriptions. It says to order medication a few days before it runs out and clearly states the practice cannot accept repeat prescription requests by phone.
Patient Access online
The official page says you can order repeat prescriptions online if you are registered for Patient Access. Contact the surgery if you need help signing up.
Electronic Prescription Service
The practice says it provides electronic prescriptions, so your nominated pharmacy can request and receive prescriptions electronically.
48-hour rule
Allow two full working days and order a few days before medication runs out. Weekends and bank holidays can add extra waiting time.

The official page says repeat prescription requests cannot be accepted by phone. Use online, written, pharmacy or prescription-slip routes.
Post option
You can send a stamped addressed envelope if you want a prescription posted back. Build in extra time for postal delays.

Prescription delay checklist: medicine name, strength, dose, how many days you have left, nominated pharmacy, Patient Access status, medication review due date and whether a weekend or bank holiday is coming.
Using the NHS App for repeat prescriptions
Westbury Road Medical Practice uses online services and electronic prescribing. This general NHS North East London video is useful because many Forest Gate patients use digital routes for repeat medication and GP records.
This is general NHS App guidance, not a Westbury Road-specific local rule. Always follow the official Westbury Road Medical Practice website for local prescription, appointment and online-service instructions.
Fit notes, sick notes, online access and patient admin
| Need | Best route | Official rule / practical note | Useful tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fit note / sick note | Follow the official fit-note guidance. | For sickness of more than seven days, your employer will normally ask for a GP medical certificate. | If hospital care caused your absence, ask the hospital for the certificate first. |
| Self-certification | Use your employer’s self-certification form or HMRC SC2 where appropriate. | Self-certification is usually for shorter sickness periods. | Do not book emergency appointments only for routine certificates. |
| Online appointment / prescription access | Patient Access or NHS App where enabled. | Appointment booking and prescription ordering may depend on your account setup. | Contact the surgery if you need help signing up. |
| Accessible communication | Contact the practice by phone or email. | The official contact page says interpreter support, including British Sign Language, can be arranged. | Mention language or access needs when booking. |
Fit note practical rule
If you have already seen a practice doctor or the practice has a hospital letter about your illness, you may not need to see the doctor again. Ask the practice for the correct fit-note request route.
Do not use emergency slots for certificates
The official fit-note guidance says fit certificates can be backdated, so it is not necessary to make an emergency appointment just to renew a certificate.
Keep contact details current
The practice sends appointment SMS reminders and asks patients to keep mobile numbers correct. You may be able to cancel by replying “Cancel” to reminder texts.
Westbury Road services: GP, nurse, pharmacy or urgent care?
The practice homepage says it provides routine surgeries and specialist clinics to promote better health, including advice on diet, exercise, immunisation, routine cervical screening, smoking and alcohol consumption, and child health surveillance. The appointment page also encourages pharmacy advice for minor illness.
GP appointment
Use GP access for persistent symptoms, medication review, mental health concerns, clinician-directed follow-up and problems that need GP assessment.
Nurse / screening
The practice homepage mentions routine screening and child health surveillance. Nurse appointments may be suitable for some screening, immunisation and chronic care tasks.
Community pharmacy
The appointments page says pharmacists can advise on minor illness without the need of an appointment and may be the fastest safe option.
Phlebotomy and tests
The practice menu includes phlebotomy service information. Follow clinician instructions before attending for blood tests.
NHS 111 / A&E
Use NHS 111 for urgent non-emergency help outside practice hours. Use 999 or A&E for life-threatening symptoms.
Forms and certificates
Fit notes and certificates have specific rules. Routine certificates should not use emergency appointment slots.
Fee note: NHS GP consultations are normally NHS services. Private letters, forms, travel certificates, insurance reports and other non-NHS paperwork may have charges. Ask reception before requesting chargeable paperwork.

Deep dive into appointment access
The most important split is routine versus same-day emergency. Routine problems use AccuRx Online Consult and get a callback within the stated working-day window; same-day emergency requests use the listed phone times.
Deep dive into registration
The practice is accepting new patients according to the NHS profile, but the official practice page limits registration to E6, E7, E12, E13 and E15.
Deep dive into prescriptions
Do not phone repeat prescription requests. Use Patient Access, EPS, pharmacy request, prescription slip, fax or post route, and allow two full working days.
Deep dive into urgent vs routine care
Routine GP requests are not emergency services. Use NHS 111 for urgent non-emergency help and 999 when life may be at risk.
Deep dive into map and access
Use 32 Westbury Road, not the old CQC archived address. There is no car park, but the practice says the building is wheelchair accessible and has a hearing loop.
Deep dive into enhanced access
Newham Health Collaborative delivers evening/weekend enhanced access. Check current appointment availability before relying on any specific evening or weekend slot.
