Repeat Prescriptions

We require 48 hours notice for repeat medication. Requests can be made in writing (post or fax), online or in person. You can also ask your regular pharmacy to request your prescription on your behalf.

You can use our online repeat prescription utility by clicking on the link above and completing a one-off registration.

Please note we are unable to accept repeat requests for contraception. Please make a routine appointment with the practice nurse.

Medication Reviews

Periodically you will be asked to attend the surgery for a review of your medication and this will be printed on your repeat slip. Please ensure you attend in order to avoid delays in further prescriptions being issued.

Please allow two full working days for prescriptions to be processed and ready for collections and remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account.

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): £9.00
• 12-month prepayment certificate (PPC): £104.00
• 3-month PPC: £29.10

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
