Repeat Prescriptions

Please leave your request for a repeat prescription at reception or post it to the surgery. Tick the items you need on the right-hand section of your previous prescription form. True Repeat Prescriptions will be ready for collection 48 hours later excluding weekends and bank holidays. If you prefer, we can post it back to you (you will need to provide a stamped, addressed envelope), or you may make arrangements with a Pharmacy to collect this on your behalf. Please see the Practice Information Leaflet for details or which medication requests may take longer.

We are keen to ensure that patients with ongoing medical problems are monitored regularly. If the date for your next review with a doctor or nurse has passed you may be asked to make an appointment.

Prescriptions are currently priced at £7.10. If you are on multiple repeat medications it is probably worthwhile contacting the Prescriptions Authority or asking your pharmacist for a pre-payment certificate which will greatly reduce your prescription charges.

If you are under 18 years of age, unemployed or on invalidity benefit then you will not have to pay for your prescription. Ensure that you fill out the reverse of the prescription form correctly and sign it, and have some proof that you are exempt from prescription charges with you when you collect your medication from the pharmacy.
