Please ensure all repeat medication requests are submitted 7 days before all Bank Holidays.

The quickest and easiest way to order repeat prescriptions is by using the NHS App - please click on the image on the right for more information on how to do this.

If you do not have access to the NHS App, please order repeat prescriptions on the printed request form provided at the chemist when you collect your medication. This can then be:

• posted to the surgery
• placed in the repeat prescription box on the reception desk or the surgery's external letter box or
• handed in at your local chemist (who will return it to us)

Alternatively you can order online via the link at the top of this page. Patients new to the service will need to register first. 

Please note we DO NOT accept telephone requests for prescription items.

This practice is set up for the electronic prescription service.

This means that for most patients we can send your prescription to your chosen chemist directly saving you having to come down to the surgery.

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

Your repeat prescription will be ready for collection at the pharmacy of your choice after 15:00 five working days after we receive this request. 

We are unable to process requests any quicker due to the volume of prescriptions we deal with on a daily basis.

As a patient it is your responsibility to make sure that you submit your request while you still have sufficient medication to last you because we are unable to provide prescriptions urgently, except in exceptional circumstances.  If an urgent request for medication is made, you will need to fill in a urgent prescription request form and a clinician will decide whether this is necessary.

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a clinician at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your medication.

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

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

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.

• Telephone advice and order line 0845 850 0030
• General Public - Buy or Renew a PPC On-line

There is further information about prescription exemptions and fees on the NHS website.
