Repeat Prescriptions

Requests can be made in writing or in person. The repeat slip attached to your last prescription can be used to place an order, simply tick the items required.

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

Please note we are unable to accept 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.
