Prescriptions

Most adults in England have to pay prescription charges.

Some items are always free, including contraceptives and medicines prescribed for hospital inpatients.

The current prescription charge is £9.35 per item.

A prescription prepayment certificate (PPC) could save you money on NHS prescription costs:

  • a 3-month PPC costs £30.25

  • a 12-month PPC is £108.10

Repeat Prescriptions

Click here to order Your Repeat Prescription Online

Patients on regular medication do not always need to see the GP for a repeat of medicines. You will be issued with a computer slip attached to your prescriptions. This should be returned to the surgery two or three days before you need further medication, after ticking all the items you require.

Repeat prescriptions can be ordered in several ways

Via the NHS app

You can also order your prescriptions online via the link at the top of this page. New users are required to complete a simple registration prior to using the system.

Email

Telephone

In person at reception  

Please give 48hrs notice for prescription requests.

We use Electronic Prescribing at our Practice.  Patients need to nominate a pharmacy to use this service and they should speak to their pharmacy to arrange this.  Prescriptions will then be sent electronically to their nominated pharmacy.  The prescription will be kept at the surgery for collection if you haven't nominated a pharmacy.

Please note that you will need to clearly specify if you wish to have your prescription sent to a nominated pharmacy, otherwise the prescription will be kept at the surgery for collection.

Requests for non-repeat medication or “one off” prescriptions have to be authorised by the GP and may take longer to process, however, we will ensure that these requests are dealt with within a 48 hour period.

 

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least 6 - 12 months to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip. Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.

Please allow two full working days for prescriptions to be processed and remember to take weekends and bank holidays into account.
