Repeat Prescriptions

We provide Electronics Prescriptions Service via your nominated pharmacy.

The reception staff are not permitted to take repeat prescription request over the phone. Only written requests or computer counterfoil will be accepted.

Please allow two working days before collecting your prescription. 

If you would like your prescription to be posted back to you please enclose a stamped SAE.

Elderly and house bound patient may request their prescriptions by post.

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.
