Repeat Prescriptions

You can now order your repeat prescription, up to 7 days in advance on line via the link at the top of this page. Alternatively  you can come into the surgery and fill in a request form, or post request to practice address.

All prescriptions are then available for collection within minimum 5 working days later.

The receptionist may say they cannot order your prescription without you seeing the doctor first. This is done for your protection and to ensure that your condition and medication can be monitored.

Electronic Prescription Service (EPD

You can choose to have your prescriptions ordered and delivered by your choice of pharmacist by the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS). Click here for more information.

Please note; antibiotics, contraceptive pill and hormone replacement therapy cannot be put on repeat prescriptions.

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.
