Repeat Prescriptions

Patients on long-term medication can use the right hand side of their prescription to re-order. There are a number of options:

• In person - drop the slip into the surgery with the required items clearly marked.
• By post - send it to us with a stamped addressed envelope and we will post it back to you.

Alternatively you can now order online via the link at the top of this page. First time users are require to complete a simple registration.

Please note the practice does not accept requests over the telephone or fax.

Prescriptions will be processed and ready for collection as per the following table:

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip. This applies even if a patient is followed up at hospital. 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): £8.80

• 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. 

• Telephone advice and order line 0845 850 0030

There is further information about prescription exemptions and fees on the NHS website
