Repeat Prescriptions

If your long-term medication has been approved on a repeat prescription basis you can order in a number of ways:

• In person - hand your repeat slip in at reception with the required items clearly marked.
• By post - send it to us with a stamped addressed envelope if you want us to post it back to you.
• Online - follow the link at the top of this page to register for online ordering.

Please allow two full working days for prescriptions to be processed and remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account.

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip.

Please ensure that you book a review appointment  when due to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.

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.
