Christmas prescription ordering through the Medicines Order Line

The Medicine Order Line (MOL) is expected to be busier than usual over Christmas and New Year.

If your medication is due over the Christmas period, you can order it up to 14 days before it is due, rather than the usual seven days. For example, medication due on 25 December can be ordered from 11 December.

Controlled drugs cannot be issued early and will continue to be processed in the usual way.

On the run up to the Christmas holiday season, please order in plenty of time to allow your GP practice and pharmacy to process your prescription.

You can order repeat prescriptions through:

  • the MOL online form: www.derbyshiremol.nhs.uk
  • your GP practice’s online system
  • the NHS App
  • Electronic Repeat Dispensing (eRD)

The Medicine Order Line will be closed on 25 December, 28 December and 1 January.
