Repeat Prescriptions
All prescriptions are issued on the practice computer and repeat prescriptions have a tear off strip on the right hand side which should be used to order repeats.
Written requests may be made giving name, address and date of birth and enclosing a stamped addressed envelope if it is to be returned. Please allow a minimum of 36 hours for repeat prescriptions to be issued (excluding weekends and bank holidays).
You can also request your medication online via the link at the top of this page. If you haven’t registered for this service you will need to contact the surgery to request your log in details.
Non-urgent advice: Patient Notice
We cannot accept requests for medication over the telephone.
Unused/Unwanted Medicines
Please see the tab about InterCare, a charity that provides medical aid for Africa.
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.
NHS charges
These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.
- Prescription (per item): £9.35
- 12-month prepayment certificate (PPC): £108.10
- 3-month PPC: £30.25
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.
