Repeat Prescriptions
We have made a slight change to our prescription form. The form is very similar to the existing form and self explanatory but you will need to delete any bookmarks you have to the existing form as it will no longer be available. Any details you have saved will no longer available
You may order a repeat prescription by
- Handing in your request at the surgery
- Posting your request with a SAE
- Online
- Ask a local pharmacy to request on your behalf
Please note we require 72 hours’ notice for repeat prescriptions.
If your chemist delivers your prescription to your home please arrange with your chemist to pick up the prescription from the surgery.
The information at the bottom of your prescription is important; please check if the message applies to you.
We prefer to review long-term medication after a few months depending on your health problems and therefore request that you attend the doctor in person from time to time.
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.
