Repeat Prescriptions

Click here Prescription

You can request your repeat medication by indicating the items you require on the tear-off slip of your prescription, and posting it to us or handing it in at the practice reception.

If you enclose a stamped self-addressed envelope we will post your prescription to you.

Alternatively, if you are registered for online services you can order your repeat prescription via the link at the top of this page.

Please allow 3-5 working days before collection, excluding weekends and bank holidays.

Electronic Prescribing Service

This practice is set up for the electronic prescription service. You must nominate a chemist that you wish your prescriptions to be sent to.

This means that for most patients we can send your prescription to your chosen chemist directly saving you time.

To get your prescription sent to your chosen pharmacy you will have to ask reception to sign up.

Prescription Fees

Help with NHS costs

In England, around 90% of prescription items are dispensed free. This includes exemptions from charging for those on low incomes, such as:

  • those on specific benefits or through the NHS Low Income Scheme
  • those who are age exempt
  • those with certain medical conditions
  • More information is available at NHS Choices

NHS Charges

These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.

  • Prescription (per item): £9.65
  • 12-month prepayment certificate (PPC): £111.60
  • 3-month PPC: £31.25

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.
