Repeat Prescriptions

There are 5 methods of ordering repeat prescriptions:

1. By post, enclosing a stamped addressed envelope if you wish us to post your prescription back - otherwise it will be left in the surgery to collect
2. Hand delivered.  There is a post box in the entrance to avoid you having to queue at the reception desk
3. Faxed to 01902 455309
4. Online - via the link above
5. Register for Patient On-Line Access via this link  Patient On-line Access please bring completed form into surgery with your ID to register.

Please use the other half of your prescription to request items.  If you do not have this, complete one of the prescription request forms which are available from reception. 

You need to allow 2 working days for your prescription to be prepared.  Prescriptions can be collected during normal surgery hours.

If you take regular medication you need regular health checks.  Please ensure you see a doctor at least once a year or more often if necessary.  If you don"t, you may be asked to make an appointment before being able to get your prescription

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.
