Repeat Prescriptions

You can request a repeat prescription on-line via the form on this website, by fax (01233 611664) or in person at reception.  We are unable to accept requests by telephone.

Please allow 3 full working days for us to process the order.

We can accept repeat prescription requests for:

• Items which have been previously agreed by the doctor to be suitable for repeat prescription ordering
• Items for which you have not yet used up all your quota of issues before the doctor needs to review your medication

You will need to provide details of the items you are requesting and details to identify yourself, i.e. full name, date of birth etc.

If you leave a supply of Stamped Addressed Envelopes (SAEs) at reception we can post your prescription 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 48 hours, excluding weekends and Bank Holidays, for your request to be processed. Any problems please telephone the surgery.
