Repeat Prescriptions

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

You can order your repeat prescription online via the link at the top of this page.

During the current coronavirus epidemic we will accept repeat prescription requests over the telephone.

If you require a repeat prescription you will be asked to nominate a pharmacy, if you have not done so already, so that the prescription can be sent electronically directly to the pharmacy that you can collect from there 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.

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.
