Repeat Prescriptions Please allow 72 hours for prescriptions to be processed and remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account.

Prescriptions are now being sent Electronically from the Practice to the Pharmacies please register with a pharmacy of your choice to enable this process to work. Please note the prescription will still need to be ordered from the Practice and then it will be sent electronically. 

Please Note when prescriptions are sent electronically the Practice ask that you wait a few hours before trying to collect them from the pharmacy. Prescriptions are signed electronically at the end of the clinics so they won't be there immediately after your appointment.

Repeat prescriptions may be ordered by completing the counter foil, printed opposite your previous prescription, and handing in to a member of the reception staff. Request forms can also be obtained from the main reception desk.

Alternatively you can order online through registering for online services or via the link at the top of this page. New users to the system are required to complete a simple registration first.

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner, pharmacist or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications. Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.

Please allow 72 hours for prescriptions to be processed and remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account.

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.

NHS charges

If you have to pay for four or more prescription items in three months, or more than 15 items in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a PPC.
