Prescriptions
Please allow us 48 hours (two working days), to process your prescription request and take weekends and bank holidays into account.
We do not accept repeat prescription requests over the phone.
Ordering a Repeat Prescription
When you order a prescription online, you can have it sent electronically to a pharmacy of your choice. This is called a nomination.
The NHS App
Order repeat prescriptions via the NHS App or NHS website, and have them sent to a pharmacy of your choice.
Use Online Services
The easiest way to order your prescription is by using our online services.
Your Local Pharmacy
Pharmacy Ordering
Your pharmacy can order your repeat medications on your behalf. Please contact your pharmacy of choice to set up this service.
In Person
You can order in person by returning the right-hand half of a previous prescription for the required medications clearly marked.
By Post
You can post your prescription slip or written request to us at the Practice.
Questions About Your Prescription
If you have questions about your medicine, your local pharmacists can answer these. They can also answer questions on medicines you can buy without a prescription.
The NHS website has information on how your medicine works, how and when to take it, possible side effects and answers to your common questions.
If you would like to speak to someone at the GP surgery about your prescription, please contact us.
Medication Reviews
Patients who are on repeat medication are required to have a medication review with a pharmacist, doctor or practice nurse at least once a year. A reminder will appear on your repeat prescription slip. Blood tests may be required, and it is important that these are completed before your medication review appointment. Please make sure you book an appropriate appointment in good time to avoid unnecessary delays in receiving further prescriptions.
Prescriptions Charges and Exemptions
Extensive exemption and remission arrangements protect those likely to have difficulty in paying charges (NHS prescription and dental charges, optical and hospital travel costs).
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.
When going abroad you can take your NHS medications with you.

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