Repeat Prescriptions

Please use the computer generated printed form to request your repeat prescriptions. 

We require 48 hours, 2 whole working day notice to process your prescription. 

All requests should be made in person, by post or fax, via on-line services or by your regular pharmacist.  To avoid queuing at reception, your slip can be placed in the box provided at the reception counter.

Alternatively, please contact your nominated chemist who will be happy to help you to order your prescriptions etc

For safety reasons, repeat prescriptions and requests for acute medications will not be accepted by telephone.

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.
