Repeat Prescriptions

Repeat prescriptions are processed by computer so please use the computer slip(when appropriate) for reordering, and always quote your computer number, which can be found on the slip attached to your prescription.

There are four ways in which you can order your prescription:

1. You are now able to order your repeat prescription 24 hours a day 7 days a week (including bank holidays), using our automated prescription service. Just telephone the usual prescription number and follow the prompts. You can also leave a message when the prescription line is busy instead of waiting to speak to a receptionist
2. Bring the computer slip in personally and pop it in the repeat prescription box on the reception desk.
3. Post your computer slip to us enclosing a stamped addressed envelope and we will return it to you.
4. Or fill out the online prescription request in this Web Site.

Please remember to allow 2 working days wherever possible, before collecting your prescription. Prescriptions can be collected any time between 8.30 am and 6.00pm Monday to Friday.

On occasions you will be asked to see the doctor or nurse practitioner to review your medication.

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.
