Repeat Prescriptions

If you need to take medication regularly your doctor may make a repeat prescription arrangement, each computer printed prescription will be accompanied by an order form attached to the right side of the prescription, showing which items you are able to request.

There are now several ways to order your repeat medication when you need further supplies:

• Tick the medication required on the order form and place it in the box at the reception window or
• You can post your order form to us enclosing a stamped addressed envelope or
• Repeat prescriptions can now be requested by going directly to a pharmacist of your choice, some pharmacies offer a collection and delivery service or
• Ask at reception for a password to enable you to order your prescriptions on line via this website.

Whichever method you choose, please state clearly your requirements and from where you would like to collect your  prescription. Please allow 2 working days for the prescription to be ready.

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.
