Repeat Prescriptions

If you take regular medication you will need to obtain repeat prescriptions. Requests for these can be made in writing (preferably using the slip attached to your repeat prescription). 

Repeat prescription requests can now also be made online. Please click on the link above to register as a new online user or to log in as an existing user.

Repeat prescription requests will not be accepted by telephone.

Please make your request approximately one week before the repeat prescription is due. In most cases, the prescription will be available two working days after it was requested.

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see either a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications.

Please allow two full working days between requesting and collecting your medication.

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.
