Prescriptions

Please note we do not accept prescription requests over the phone.

You can submit a request in writing by tearing off the right hand side of your prescription. Tick the items required and hand to reception or your pharmacy. This or any other written request can also be posted or faxed to us.

Alternatively you can order online if already registered.

Please try to include all your medicines in one repeat request rather than requesting each item separately.

Please note that all prescription requests require a minimum of 72 working hours to process.

Pharmacy Services

You may collect your prescription from the Practice or arrange for your local pharmacist to collect on your behalf. Alternatively you can subscribe to EPS (electronic prescription service) at your local pharmacy.

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner, practice nurse or Pharmacist at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip.

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