Repeat Prescriptions
Please order repeat prescriptions at least THREE working days in advance. We make every effort to ensure medications are available within three working days but occasionally, we can experience either a delay in supply from our wholesaler or a manufacturing problem. At busy times such as Bank Holidays and holiday periods, it is always advisable to give extra notice.
You can order your repeat prescriptions -
Collection
Collection of repeat prescriptions between 11am and 1pm and 3pm to 5.30pm daily please (Closed Thursday afternoons) Reception is at its busiest time between 8.00am and 11.00am and this would help the pressure on the receptionists.If you are seeing a doctor or nurse, then of course you may collect before 11.00am to save another trip.
Dispensary
We dispense medicines to all patients on our list who live further than one mile from a Pharmacy.
Please note: following 1st April budget, prescription charges are now £9.65 per item.
If you are not entitled to free prescriptions and you need more than 4 prescription items in 3 months or 14 in 12 months you can save money by buying a pre-payment certificate. Ask at reception or dispensary for form FP95 to apply.
If you are entitled to free prescriptions, please make sure you have proof of your exemption on collection.
You may be asked to pay if you do not have proof with you; a receipt will be given so that you can claim a refund.
