When we are closed you may put your prescription request in the post box on the wall near the door.

Repeat Prescriptions

You may be allowed to have repeat prescriptions without having to see your doctor every time. 

Attached to your prescription is an order form for the drugs available to you on repeat prescription.  All you need to do is tick the items you require and return the form to the medical centre.

Alternatively you can order online via the link at the top of this page. New users are required to complete a simple registration.

If you are housebound and unable to get the form to the surgery, you may telephone after 14:00.

Adhering to local guidelines we are reviewing our repeat prescribing policy for patients aged 75 and over, who will now receive 28 day prescriptions. We are also looking to ensure that all your medication renews on the same date 

Medication Reviews

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a doctor, nurse practitioner or practice nurse at least once a year 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 us to process your prescription request and send it to your chosen pharmacy. Your pharmacy will then need time to get your medication ready.

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

These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.

• Prescription (per item): £9.35
• 12-month prepayment certificate (PPC): £108.10
• 3-month PPC: £30.25

If you will 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.

• Telephone advice and order line 0845 850 0030
• General Public - Buy or Renew a PPC On-line

There is further information about prescription exemptions and fees on the NHS website
