Repeat Prescription Requests
Repeat Prescriptions can be requested as follows:
- By filling out our online Repeat Prescription Request form.
- By using our online services, Patient Access. If you are not registered to use this service, please Register for our Online Services.
- By using the NHS App
Requests for repeat prescriptions require 48 hours notice. If you have any questions, please complete our online Prescription Question form for details.
If you would like to save time and order all the medication you have on repeat at the same time rather than irregular times throughout the month please use our online Prescription Synchronisation form.
Collecting your Prescription
We aim to deliver the majority of prescriptions to the pharmacy of your
choice electronically. Please ensure you inform us which pharmacy you
would like to use.
If you would like your prescription posted to a home address please do not forget to supply us with a stamped addressed envelope and let the reception team know who will make a note on your file.
Medication Reviews
Patients on repeat medication will be asked to see a clinician at least once a year to review these regular medications and notification should appear on your repeat slip. Please ensure that you book an appointment by using our online Medication Review form in time to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.
Prescriptions Charges and Exemptions
You can find out if you are entitled to free prescriptions by visiting the NHS website.
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.
View the cost of prescriptions on the NHS website.
