Repeat Prescriptions

Requests for repeat prescriptions may be made by putting your request into the red box at the surgery or by letter only.

We do not take requests over the telephone.

Allow two working days (48 hours) before collecting your prescription.

Please Note

When submitting a REPEAT PRESCRIPTION, in an attempt to reduce your waiting time at the reception desk and aid the throughput of patients, ALL requests should be posted in the red box provided on the wall to the left of the entrance to the reception waiting area.  If you have a query, there is no need to speak to a Receptionist in person.  Please write a short note on your prescription and post it as normal in the red box. Rest assured the box is emptied on a regular basis and your request will be dealt with promptly.

In future, you will be politely asked by our staff to follow the above procedure, as we no longer accept repeat prescription requests over the reception counter.

We appreciate your co-operation - thank 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.
