Ordering Repeat Prescriptions
To order a repeat prescription please tick the items you require on your repeat slip and hand this in at your local chemist, or post it in the surgery letter box just before the main entrance.
You can also now order online via the NHS APP or use the link at the top of this page following completion of a simple registration.
Please note we are unable to take telephone requests.
Medication Reviews
Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip. Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.
Please allow two full working days for prescriptions to be processed and remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account. If there are exceptional circumstances please let us know and we will endeavour to help
Prescriptions Charges and Exemptions
Extensive exemption and remission arrangements protect those likely to have difficulty in paying charges (NHS prescription and dental charges, optical and hospital travel costs).
The NHS prescription charge is a flat-rate amount which successive Governments have thought it reasonable to charge for those who can afford to pay for their medicines. Prescription prepayment certificates (PPCs) offer real savings for people who need extensive medication.
NHS charges
There is further information about Prescription Charges, Exemptions and Prepayment Certificate via the NHS website
If you will have to pay for four or more prescription items in three months, or more than 15 items in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a Prepayment Certificate.
