Repeat Prescriptions
Please follow the guidelines and choose the right option for you.
Please allow us 48 hours (two working days), to process your prescription request.
One-off treatments are not part of your repeat medication - requests for renewals will need to be reviewed by a clinician, after contacting us online.
We do not accept repeat prescription requests over the phone or in person.
Ordering a Repeat Prescription
When you order a prescription online, you can have it sent electronically to a pharmacy of your choice. This is called a nomination.
The NHS App
Request prescriptions easily through the app. After collecting your repeat prescription from the pharmacy, your prescriptions will be visible on the app.
Your Local Pharmacy
Pharmacy Ordering / Collection Service
Your pharmacy can manage your prescription requests on your behalf.
Local pharmacies will deliver to patients who are permanently or temporarily house bound.
About pharmacists
As qualified healthcare professionals, pharmacists can offer advice on minor illnesses such as:
- coughs
- colds
- sore throats
- tummy trouble
- aches and pains
They can also advise on medicine that you can buy without a prescription.
Contraception Pill without Prescription
Getting the contraceptive pill is free, with or without a prescription.
You may be able to get the contraceptive pill from a pharmacy without a prescription if you need to:
- Start the contraceptive pill for the first time
- Take the contraceptive pill again after a break from using it
Medication Queries
For any questions about your medication, please contact the surgery directly.
Medication Review
When your medication review is due, we will invite you for a telephone appointment. A medication questionnaire may be sent before the appointment.
You do not need to contact us for most medication reviews, unless one of our team asks you to submit an online consultation to speak to a GP.
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.
When going abroad you can take your NHS medications with you.
Please visit the NHS website for the latest Prescription Charges
These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.
