Repeat Prescriptions

Please allow a minimum of 48 hours for your prescription to be prepared and be aware that it could take longer if your medication review date is overdue and/or there is a query relating to your request.Repeat medications are reviewed at regular intervals, this helps us review your continuing need for the medication as well as enabling us to monitor the effects of medication by checking blood tests, blood Pressure etc.

Prescriptions can now be sent electronically to any pharmacy of your choosing. If you would like to use this service please request and complete a pharmacy nomination request available from reception and give it to the pharmacy of your choice or go into a pharmacy and request that they set you up on the system.

We will not accept any requests for repeat prescriptions over the telephone – this is to safeguard you against any potential mistakes. If you want your prescription posted back to you then please provide a stamped addressed envelope.Arrangements can be made for your prescription to be delivered to a local chemist.

You can obtain your prescription online through this web site or EMIS access.

If you are on regular medication and require a prescription, please make your written request using the Practice tear off prescription request slip. Failure to do so may result in a delay processing your request. You can send your request by post but please enclose a stamped addressed envelope.

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.

Please allow 48 hours, excluding weekends and Bank Holidays, for your request to be processed. Any problems please telephone the surgery.
Please ensure you have you have enough medication to cover you over Christmas and New Year
