Repeat Prescriptions

Repeat prescriptions will be issued at the GP’s discretion and are normally for patients on long term treatment. Requests may be made by either leaving the right hand portion of the previous repeat prescription form issued at Reception or completing a request form available at Reception or by sending your request into the Practice with a stamped addressed envelope enclosed.

Repeat prescriptions can also be forwarded to the Pharmacy of your choice at your request.

We do not accept requests via the telephone.

Please allow two working days after submission of the repeat prescription request form before collecting prescriptions from the Group Practice. Please allow three working days after submission of the repeat prescription request form before collecting prescriptions from your preferred pharmacy.

Should you have any queries regarding your prescription please contact the surgery between 12.00pm - 4.00pm or contact your preferred pharmacy.

Local pharmacies offer repeat prescription services.

Please note: Where Postal requests are submitted please remember they have to be posted back to you therefore please enclose a stamped, addressed envelope or the practice will be unable to send this back to you.

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.

Please allow 48hrs to collect from surgery and 72hrs collect from the pharmacy, excluding weekends and Bank Holidays, for your request to be processed. Any problems please telephone the surgery.
