Repeat prescriptions should be requested 48 working hours in advance by using the copy slip which comes with your repeat prescription. It can be left in the box provided or put through the letter box or posted to us.

Alternatively you may register for our online services and order online via the link at the top of this page.

No repeats will normally be accepted by telephone, fax or e-mail.

Please allow two full working days between requesting and collecting your medication. The practice has no control over delivery times from a local chemist and would advise you to allow longer if you are housebound and require delivery.

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see either a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications.

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.
