Prescriptions

To order repeat prescriptions please use one of the following:

Alternatively

Please allow three working days’ notice for requests to be processed. Allow enough time for your repeats during Bank holidays, Easter and the Christmas season as the surgery is closed along with the local chemists.

For safety reasons we no longer accept telephone requests unless in exceptional circumstances. If you live over one mile from the chemist, we can dispense your medicines.

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor or a practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications and you will be notified when this is necessary.

Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment in time to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.

NHS Charges

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.

These charges apply in England only from Wednesday 1st May 2024. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.

  • Prescription (per item): £9.90
  • 12-month prepayment certificate (PPC): £114.50
  • 3-month PPC: £32.05

If you will have to pay for four or more prescription items in three months, or more than 14 items in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a PPC.

  • HRT Prescription prepayment certificate: £19.80

This will cover all HRT prescription for a 12-month period.

If you have other prescriptions that are not HRT you may save more with a 3 or 12-month PPC.
