Repeat Prescriptions

If you are taking regular medication your doctor will usually issue you with a computerised repeat prescription slip. This should be brought to the surgery or sent with a self addressed envelope,

Alternatively you can register for our online services and order via the link at the top of this page.

We cannot take requests for repeat prescriptions over the phone.

Collections

Allow 72 hours for the prescription to be issued. Identification is required to collect prescriptions on behalf of others.

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.

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.
