Repeat Prescriptions

• All repeat prescriptions are computerised and you will be given a request slip listing medications you can order without seeing a doctor unless you are due to see the Doctor for a Medication Review. 

You can order your prescriptions by;

• Download the NHS App on your smart phone or tablet
• Placing a request slip into the Reception Prescription Box
• Sending it in by post with a stamped addressed envelope
• Email using the facility on the website
• request your local pharmacy order for you
• we DO NOT take prescription orders over the phone

Your prescription will take 48hours to process.

 If you have sight problems and would like an A4 size list of your repeat prescriptions, please ask the receptionist.

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.

Please allow 2 working days, excluding weekends and Bank Holidays, for your request to be processed. Any problems please telephone the surgery and speak to one of our Patient Advisors.
