How to order Repeat Prescriptions

To order your repeat prescription online, please click here.

Alternatively please order in one of the following ways:

Tick the items you require on your repeat prescription slip and put it in one of the boxes in the surgery.

Send in your repeat prescription slip by post. If you include a stamped addressed envelope, we will send you the prescription.

You can also arrange with your chemist to order and collect your prescription.

Please order all required items together and allow at least 48 hours for the practice to process your request.

If you are a newly registered patient requesting repeat medication, you will first need an appointment with a doctor or the practice pharmacist

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year (in their birthday month) to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip. Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.

Please allow two full working days for prescriptions to be processed 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): £9.35
12-month prepayment certificate (PPC): £108.10
3-month PPC: £30.25

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.
