Repeat Prescriptions

Please request your repeat medication at least 2 working days in advance.

You can order your repeat prescription here or you can email chatfield.prescriptions@nhs.net

From 1st May 2022 we will no longer accept prescription requests over the phone

If you require a repeat prescription you will be asked to nominate a pharmacy so that we can send the prescription electronically directly to your local pharmacy. This means you can head straight to the pharmacy without having to attend the surgery. 

Most local chemists are happy to order, collect, and deliver your medication if required. We also offer an Electronic Prescription Service (EPS). It is a faster, paperless way for us to send your prescription to a pharmacy of your choice.

Electronic Prescription Service (EPS) Phase 4

We have upgraded to the next phase of EPS, which will mean that almost all our prescriptions will be processed electronically. 

Electronic prescriptions help save the NHS money. You will receive your prescriptions in the same way as you do now.

Medication Reviews

All patients on repeat medication will need to have their medication regularly reviewed by a doctor. Please ensure that you make an appointment for this review before your review date, printed on the bottom of your prescription receipt. On occasion you may need to see your doctor for a review before a further prescription will be issued.

Prescription 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.
