Repeat Prescriptions 

Written requests for repeat prescriptions should be left in the collection box in the reception area or faxed. If you would like your prescription posted to you, please enclose a self-addressed envelope.

Alternatively you can order online via the link at the top of this page after completing a simple registration.

Repeat prescription orders by telephone are not accepted (unless there is no alternative) to minimise the potential for medication errors.

Collections

Please allow 48 working hours for requests to be processed and remember to take half days, weekends and bank holidays into account. We will contact you if there is query over your medication and it may be referred to the GP or nurse in which case the processing time is prolonged beyond 48 hours.

You can collect your prescription from reception or you can approach a pharmacy to pick up the prescription on your behalf. Please let us know of this arrangement.

For certain medications there is a possibility of having a six-month batch held at the chemist. This can prove more convenient. It is not suitable for all patients/medications such as those on anti-depressants or controlled medication and those who dosages change often

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, clinical pharmacist, 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.

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

These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.

• Prescription (per item): £9.65
• 12-month prepayment certificate (PPC): £111.60
• 3-month PPC: £31.25

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 PPC.
