We operate a computerised system. Please allow at least 48 hours for your repeat prescription. Please mark the items required clearly on your prescription slip. If this slip is not available please write giving name, address and item required.

There are several means of arranging for a repeat prescription.

• 1. By post to surgery enclosing a stamped addressed envelope.
• 2. Deliver by hand into our post boxes situated both outside and inside the practice.
• 3. Prescription slips can be given directly to participating chemists (ask in surgery for details).
• 4. By completing the online form - just follow the link below

PRESCRIPTION REQUESTS WILL ONLY BE TAKEN BY TELEPHONE IN EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES

Arrangements can be made for you to collect your prescription directly from a participating chemist of your choice. Some chemists provide a delivery service for any elderly or housebound patients.

From time to time patients on repeat prescriptions are asked to make an appointment to see doctor. This review is necessary so that doctor can check that repeat medication is still appropriate.

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.
