Repeat Prescriptions

All repeat prescriptions are recorded on and issued from our Practice computer and will have a counterfoil attached. This details all your repeatable prescribed medicines. The printed prescrition will be available for collection 48 hours later. We regret we are unable to take repeat prescription requests over the telephone.

Please leave your request for a repeat prescription at reception or post it to the Surgery. Tick the items you need on the right-hand section of your previous prescription form. Repeat Prescriptions will be ready for collection 48 hours later excluding weekends and bank holidays. If you prefer, we can post it back to you (you will need to provide a stamped, addressed envelope), or you may make arrangements with a Pharmacy to collect this on your behalf. Please see the Practice Information Leaflet for details or which medication requests may take longer.

We are keen to ensure that patients with ongoing medical problems are monitored regularly. If the date for your next review with a doctor or nurse has passed you may be asked to make an appointment.

Prescriptions are currently priced at £7.40.

If you think you will have to pay for four or more prescriptions in three months or more than 14 items in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a Prescription Prepayment Certificate (PPC) which costs £104 for a 12 month prepayment certificate or £28.25 for a three month prepayment certificate. You can order a PPC on line, by phoning 0845 850 0030 or by filling in an FP95 form. An FP95 form is available from some pharmacies. 

If you are under 16 years of age, over 60 years of age, aged 16 - 18 years and in full time education, are pregnant or have had a baby in the last 12 months, have a valid medical or war exemption certificate, or are entitled to income support, income-based jobseeker's allowance, pension credit guarantee credit or income-related employment and support allowance, or are an NHS inpatient then you will not have to pay for your prescription. Ensure that you fill out the reverse of the prescription form correctly and sign it, and have some proof that you are exempt from prescription charges with you when you collect your medication from the pharmacy.

For further information about prescription charges and exemptions see the NHS Choices website.
