Prescriptions

Patients eligible for repeat prescriptions can order them in a number of ways:

• In Person - leave your card with reception.
• By Post - please remember to enclose a stamped addressed envelope if you want us to post it back to you
• Order a repeat prescription online - click above

Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see either a doctor, clinical pharmacist or practice nurse at least once a year to review these regular medications.

Please allow two full working days between requesting and collecting your medication and a little longer for postal requests.

Help with NHS costs

In England, around 90% of prescription items are dispensed free. This includes exemptions from charging for those on low incomes, such as:

• those on specific benefits or through the NHS Low Income Scheme
• those who are age exempt
• those with certain medical conditions
• More information is available at NHS Choices

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

• Prescription (per item): £9.65
• 12-month prepayment certificate (PPC): £111.60
• 3-month PPC: £31.25

If you will have to pay for four or more prescription items in three months or more than 14 items in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a PPC.
